Trump admin reverses Biden’s gas stove ban, take aim at climate-inspired start-stop car tech<\/a><\/p>\n

The Trump administration has slashed regulations concerning standards over the width of shower heads, bans on a swath of gas stoves<\/a>, as well as other regulations for standards ruling over other household appliances that were imposed by the Department of Energy. This also comes as EPA head\u00a0Lee Zeldin\u00a0<\/a>is taking aim at start-stop technology in cars, or the system that automatically turns off a car when it is stopped at a light to save gas.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Washington Free Beacon<\/a>, the Energy Department took sweeping actions on Monday to slash dozens of regulations for household appliances from dishwashers to dryers that were issued under former President\u00a0Joe Biden<\/a>. The regulations included restricted sales on certain types of gas stoves, faucets, shower heads, and microwaves.<\/p>\n

“It should not be the government’s place to decide what kind of appliances you or your restaurants or your businesses can buy,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright commented about the regulations. “Everybody wants clean air and wants to lower their energy costs and run their factories good as they can. The big hand of government doesn’t actually help that process at all.”<\/p>\n

“We will look for every way we can to protect freedom of the American worker and pursue President Trump’s agenda, get rid of the nonsense, bring back common sense, make life more affordable, and opportunities greater,” Wright added.<\/p>\n

In a similar vein, Zeldin addressed the start-stop technology in cars, which climate activists say helps climate change, but some others find it to be annoying. “Start\/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy,” Zeldin said. “EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.”<\/p>\n
