Wow, Joe Biden already feels like a distant memory. However, the cleanup of the federal government after his disastrous regime is far from over, and Trump, DOGE Chief Elon Musk, Border Czar Tom Homan, and many more are hard to work reversing his failed left-wing policies. [emphasis, links added]
Now it’s newly-installed Environment Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin’s turn, as President Trump has ordered him to jettison Sleepy Joe’s expensive, overbearing directives on home appliances—everything from water heaters to light bulbs to stoves.
We’re going to go in a different direction, Trump posted to social media Tuesday:
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…

The post in full:
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 LIGHTBULBS, that were put in place by the Trump Administration, but terminated by Crooked Joe. I look forward to signing these Orders. THANK YOU!!!
Zeldin has already shown that he’s more interested in seeing Americans prosper than he is in punishing the population over the alleged climate change issue:
We placed 171 DEI and “Environmental Justice”-focused employees on administrative leave.
The priority @EPA under @POTUS will be on its core mission of protecting human health and the environment, and Powering the Great American Comeback. https://t.co/s0jTeIIhUs

Biden, in his quest to interfere in almost every aspect of our lives and latch onto every single extreme green energy proposal he could find, issued onerous “climate standards” on various household appliances, as if your dishwasher was somehow a major contributor to emissions:
During his term, former President Joe Biden issued more stringent climate standards for various household appliances, such as gas stoves, washing machines and dishwashers, which energy experts and manufacturers have warned could lead to more expensive alternatives that are far less effective than current models.
Congress has also been hard at work undoing the insanity:
Republican lawmakers, who have the majority in both the House and the Senate, have also started taking actions in Congress to derail Biden’s green energy standards for appliances.
Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Oka., introduced a joint resolution of disapproval against the standards for coolers and freezers enacted by the Biden administration that were set to go into effect in February, reported first by Fox News Digital.
Additionally, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., introduced a resolution to block Biden’s ban on water heaters, which was announced first by Fox News Digital.
Also in January, the House passed the “Liberty in Laundry Act” to prevent the Energy secretary and Department of Energy from “implementing new or amended energy efficiency standards for clothes washers that are not technologically feasible and economically justified.”
Most of Biden’s regulations would do little to lower emissions significantly or affect the vast climate system.
They mostly seemed designed to punish the American people, virtue signal, and send billions to the Green New Deal scammers.
BOOM! President Trump just ordered that incandescent lightbulbs and water pressure in your sinks, showers, washing machines, and toilet are BACK.

I for one am looking forward to the much more pleasing incandescent lightbulbs back.

The expensive, overbearing directives on home appliances such as water heaters, light bulbs, and stoves were another cost to consumers. Washing machines and dishwasher had to implement longer cycles to get the job done. Our family noticed that. Installing an electric hot water heater rather than natural gas or propane costs hundreds of extra dollars to operate over time. Consumers don’t need to be limited in choice of light bulbs. Most will select LED because they use less power. However, I used to 300 watt lights bulbs to heat small green houses. A LED equivalent can not do that.
Bidens Plans like those of Clinton(Bill)and Obama just more of the UN/CFR/Globalist plans for New World Order and a Global UN Government
