The war on ordinary American appliances, dishwashers, toilets, washing machines, even light bulbs, is over.
So explains President Donald Trump.
"I am hereby instructing Secretary Lee Zeldin to immediately go back to my Environmental Orders, which were terminated by Crooked Joe Biden, on Water Standards and Flow pertaining to SINKS, SHOWERS, TOILETS, WASHING MACHINES, DISHWASHERS, etc., and to likewise go back to the common sense standards on LIGHT BULBS, that were put in place by the Trump Administration, but terminated by Crooked Joe. I look forward to signing these Orders. THANK YOU!"
Leftists have, in recent years, insisted on imposing drastic new standards for a variety of common household helps, critics say, to the point that washing machines no longer cleaned clothes with one cycle, toilets had to be flushed several times, and dishwashers had to run for hours to complete that chore.
Lee Zeldin is the chief of the Environmental Protection Agency and now is in a position to erase extreme demands that had been imposed under the Joe Biden regime.
Biden's vast repertoire of green energy demands also included efficiency demands for gas stoves and water heaters that effectively banned many products.
The move is the latest by Trump, since he returned to the White House, to clean up the mess created by the regulations.
He's also moved to scrap Biden's fuel economy standards for vehicles and stopped funding for Biden's electric car agenda, including a charging station network that was given billions and left behind only a handful of units.
Trump also, by signing an executive order, sought to "unleash" the "affordable and reliable energy and natural resources" in America, to make in an energy powerhouse, and even exporter.
"In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens," Trump stated in that decision.
"These high energy costs devastate American consumers by driving up the cost of transportation, heating, utilities, farming, and manufacturing, while weakening our national security."
