Biden Blocked From Undoing Dishwasher, Washing Machine Rules (1)
The Biden administration must revisit actions to toss Trump-era efficiency rules that created new appliance categories for shorter-duration dishwashers and washing machines, a federal appeals court ruled.

". . . In 2022, under a new administration, the DOE didn’t fully respond to those complaints, the court said.
“DOE recognized the facts that undermined its Repeal Rule, cited other facts to suggest the Repeal Rule would conserve water and energy, and then implicitly credited the latter without explaining why,” the court wrote. “That is the touchstone of arbitrary and capricious agency action.”
If Biden energy officials thought the 2020 rules didn’t consider the conservation law’s requirements, the 2022 rules did even less to rectify the perceived shortcomings, the court wrote.
The agency “failed to adequately consider appliance performance, substitution effects, and the ample record evidence that DOE’s conservation standards are causing Americans to use more energy and water rather than less,” the court wrote.
The court also found it was unclear whether the Energy Policy and Conservation Act allowed the department to regulate water conservation from dishwashers and washing machines at all.
The ruling comes as the DOE works through a backlog of missed statutory deadlines for energy efficiency standards left by the Trump administration and intends on tightening rules for dozens of appliances. The agency estimated last month its efficiency standards will save consumers $1 trillion.
“The Biden administration’s dishwasher rule saved neither energy nor water,” Liz Murrill, Louisiana’s attorney general, said in a statement Tuesday. “For families—moms, dads, and kids who do laundry and dishes—this is a big win! We want appliances that work. I’ll keep fighting these irrational attacks on families and consumers by bureaucrats in D.C.”
The administration “will have to go back to square one” on water efficiency standards it has proposed, likely preventing it from further action until after the presidential election, said O.H. Skinner, executive director of the Alliance for Consumers.
The ruling should revive the Trump-era carve-out for shorter-duration machines, Skinner added. “But the ruling will have to be implemented before we find out the full details on that category, and that will take some time,” he said. . . . ."
The folks running everything don't give a damn about the. . "environment," they just know, there is a limited supply of energy to do everything they want. And what they really want is massive smart cities and huge data preprocessing centers processing massive amount of data on everything and everyone, so AI can control the lives of everything and everyone in a global technocratic police state. . making their centuries old dream of communism finally at long last work!
If they can just measure, track and control ever little bit of resource that is produced and consumed, they are sure they can finally get global communism to finally work, we all know, that is what this is really all about.
JUST CONTROL. And digitizing the entire world take massive amounts of energy. So there is not energy left over for the little people.
Only fools still bleeve in this false narrative. It is just a sham, a bait and switch in order to enslave the entire planet.
