Biden now targeting home water heaters for more government rules as crackdown on home appliances continues

The Biden administration has proposed  tightening efficiency standards for new residential water heaters - a move it said would save consumers $11.4bn a year

The DOE has already rolled out new efficiency standards for other appliances, such as gas stoves, clothes washers, refrigerators and air conditioners

It marks the latest chapter in Biden's war on appliances that his administration claims will save Americans money

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Note the subtle reason change for the government taking more control of our lives.  It's not to save the environment, it's now to save money. :pondering:
