Biden DOE’s Finalized Regs On A Must-Have Appliance Will Jack Up Prices, Rates
by Nick Pope  20 hours ago 
 

The Department of Energy (DOE) finalized regulations Tuesday for a popular appliance that will push the market toward adopting heat pump technology. [emphasis, links added]

The DOE’s final energy efficiency regulations for water heaters will apply to common electrical water heaters and significantly increase the share of those models that use heat pumps, according to the agency.


The DOE has spearheaded the Biden administration’s efforts to push rules and regulations targeting appliances ranging from pool pump motors and lightbulbs to furnaces and portable generators.

“Almost every U.S. household has a water heater, and for too long outdated energy efficiency standards have led to higher utility bills for families,” Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said in a statement about the new rules.

Jennifer Granholm is the most unqualified secretary of energy that this country has ever had.

I don’t know if she’s dumb, or simply she’s been handed a job that she has no qualifications for doing. It would be like employing me to work on advanced satellite systems

There's a commonality amongst those in the current administration; dumb and not qualified to do the job.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Less likely to balk at their marching orders that way.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
