Keep voting Democrat you idiots.
No mention of home heating oil furnaces which are common in the Northeast.
This is no where in the Constitution as a listed Federal job.
IOW... FJB.
Ban marxist pedophiles.
They denied they were going to do it and now they do it. Similar to this:

They’ll probably just ban heating oil altogether. Because oil.
The DOE should not have any “requirement” abilities for home appliances. The most they should have is like a “comsumer reports” table/list showing what models of home appliances they rate as “O.K.”, “Good”, “Better” and “Best”, in different categories of ratings. Then based on the buyers desires and pocketbook they can make informed choices. That is as far as the DOE should be able to go on home appliances. They should have zero enforcement powers on such things either with manufacturers or consumers. We can strip them of such errant excutive dictates with legislation.
But it is what it is. For what it's worth, if you live in the southern portion of the U.S. you might want to consider a variable speed heat pump, with heat strips for when the cold weather is too cold. That combination works well for me in north central Alabama.
Stinking communist bastards continue to run roughshod over the servile & indolent Aamerican serfs...
There are no limits to tyranny...
Not going to change “how” people heat their homes so much as “if” people heat their homes. If you live in the north, you know that a heat pump isn’t ideal in very cold weather, though it’s reasonable to use here in the south.
The gas company in Ohio, where I used to live, used to advertise that “gas heat is warm heat” and they were right.
People won’t be able to afford to heat their homes without gas, you watch. Then, the great government “savior” that caused the problem will present a solution. That solution will come at the expense of others, as all government solutions do.
“ There are no limits to tyranny... ”
That is being made crystal clear.
Pre-emptive surrender is how the Fedgov over-reach has hit this point.
THERE IS NO LEGIT AUTHORITY FOR THEM TO BE DOING THIS.
Period. Full stop. End of story.
This is literally the level of control over our lives that caused Thomas Jefferson and his friends to start shooting British Soldiers in the FACE.
Also, now that I’ve read more than the headline, an 80% furnace is a LOT cheaper to buy than a 95%+ furnace. It’s also a lot less complicated, meaning a lot less to go wrong. I’ll stick with my 80%. If someone doesn’t like it, they can pry it from my cold dead garage.
True that. And it wasn't too long ago that the government was pushing gas as the solution, not the problem. Remember when they were pushing people to switch more of their heating to "clean burning" natural gas? Remember the Obama years when the EPA was forcing power companies to shut down coal plants and replace them with "clean burning" natural gas fueled plants?
Now those same Dims are demanding we're evil for following their prior mandates to switch to gas.
Hmm this will likely impact more democratic held cities and districts, so Jimmy crack corn
“ This is literally the level of control over our lives that caused Thomas Jefferson and his friends to start shooting British Soldiers in the FACE.”
Oh, we are far, far past that level.

It’s hard to believe that there was a time when this country had a rebellion because of a tax on whiskey.
