House Republicans are proposing a number of bills that focus on rules around household appliances on April 15, following regulation from President Joe Biden’s administration.
During his administration, Biden has passed a number of laws to prioritize reducing the effects of climate change—including the Inflation Reduction Act, which designates $369 billion toward the country’s green-energy transition. Biden has also established stricter regulations for gas stoves and dishwashers and introduced proposals to make ceiling fans more energy efficient.
Some Republicans have said these rules could lead to higher costs and restrict consumer choice. Now, a number of GOP politicians are putting forward six bills that seek to prohibit the secretary of energy from enforcing energy-conservation standards for various household appliances that are not cost-effective or seem technologically unfeasible.
