Congratulations portable air conditioner buyers and sellers. This product now qualifies for… government regulation!
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently determined that portable air conditioners meet the criteria set under the Energy Policy Conservation Act (as amended) for efficiency mandates. Like all other efficiency regulations, mandated appliance standards removes choices from individuals and empowers Washington to override personal preferences.
DOE concluded that the average household use of electricity for portable air conditioners exceeds the limit to trigger consideration for regulation. The energy-use threshold for DOE bureaucrats to begin inspecting and testing an appliance is low.

If government over-reach is your issue, there is a clear choice...and it ain’t trump.

I feel safer already knowing a nameless faceless bureaucrat will dictate the air conditioner choices we can make.

1. Abolish the Department of Energy.
2. Move the Nuclear National Security Agency (nuclear weapons labs: Sandia, Los Alamos, etc.) to Department of Defense.

During the Libyan civil war, Libyans slaughtered tens of thousands of Qaddhafi’s bureaucrats. They dragged these bureaucrat nazis into the streets, shot them in the head and shoveled them into open pits by the thousands.
Now Libyans can use air conditioners without any interference. Could there possibly be a lesson to learn here?

Mission Accomplished!
