"The Trump administration is moving to delay the implementation of Biden-administration rules that require household appliances to be more efficient — carrying on a frequent rallying cry for President Trump.
The Energy Department on Friday afternoon announced it would “postpone” Biden’s efficiency rules for lightbulbs, clothes washers and dryers, air conditioners, air compressors and gas-powered water heaters.
In addition, it said it would postpone efficiency requirements for commercial refrigeration.
The Biden administration argued that its efforts to make appliances more efficient were a win-win, saving consumers money on their energy bills while also reducing planet-warming emissions. However, Republicans, especially President Trump, have said the requirements are an attack on consumer choice."
