From 7 Other Problematic Household Appliances That Should Be Banned | Babylon Bee
"Since the beginning of his administration, Biden has waged a seemingly endless war on America’s appliances.
"So far, the Biden administration goons at the Energy Department have come after our:
"Let’s not forget the attack on gas stoves, which led to the House of Representatives passing legislation to block the Department of Energy from implementing tough new energy conservation rules on gas stoves. That was a rare bipartisan move supported by more than two dozen Democrats.
"Now comes even more bipartisan opposition to Biden’s energy rules. Several Democrats in the House of Representatives joined Republicans on legislation blocking new Biden administration energy efficiency standards for refrigerators and dishwashers.
The Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act by Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., and Refrigerator Freedom Act by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, passed along party lines Tuesday evening.
Seven House Democrats voted for each bill. The dishwasher standards legislation passed 214-192 with no GOP dissent. The refrigerator bill passed 212-192, with one Republican voting against it.
Both bills are aimed at prohibiting the Secretary of Energy from enacting and enforcing “energy efficiency standards for residential refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers that are not technologically feasible and economically justified,” the House GOP has said.
"One bill offered by Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa would curtail Energy Department rules on refrigerators. The second measure was put forth by New York Republican Rep. Nick Langworthy and bars the administration from implementing or enforcing new efficiency rules if they are not “cost-effective or technologically feasible.”
