"reduce energy consumption by nearly 30%"

Simple -- get rid of the drying cycle and make people get out their dish towels. Problem solved. Just eliminate anything that says "sanitize," "sani," "heat," "dry," or "high-temp."

The Biden administration has made clear that the new limits are coming thanks to the president's climate agenda.

We are so grateful.

I hate that my clothes washer won’t do a hot water rinse. Also, IIRC, in days past an normal wash cycle automatically included a second rinse. Now I have to choose that option. At least there IS that option.

Oh great. Instead of almost four hours to wash a load, it’ll be eight hours...and you can’t use hot water.

The rules would also require manufacturers to reduce their products' energy consumption by nearly 30%.

This is dumb as crap!! The dishwasher is one of the least energy consuming appliances in the house. If you want to cut down on your power/natural gas bills you focus on winning the big battles. Like A/C and heat (almost everybody's #1 energy consumption battle). #2 is the water heater. I bet even the lights in the house total more power consumed than the dishwasher running even once per day. Definitely the clothes dryer and washer use more power than the dishwasher.

But some bureaucrat at the EPA is making herself feel like she's saving the world by passing some rule that helps in virtually no way but causes the rest of us more problems.

I hand wash dishes and use 20 gallons of water. My tankless water heater runs the whole time. Oh well. FJB

“ Most dishwashers on the market are already well below the federal standard of 5 gallons, with most using 3.5 gallons per cycle or less”

We need to get AI into these appliances and tell them what Brandon plans for them. They’ll melt all his ice cream and scald him with hot soup.

When the government messed with the washing machines about 12 years ago, I naively bought a Maytag water saver because my last Maytag was such a work horse. We had a farm and it lasted for 25 years without missing a beat.
So when we retired and moved into town the water saver seemed like a good idea.
Well I used it for a year and gave it away. I might have just as well washed my clothes down at the creek beating them on a rock. They stunk and were sometimes torn to shreds. I went to Amish country and bought a Speed Queen….It’s great.
