Ceiling fans can save AC usage.

The left won’t be happy until we are living in thatched roof huts and freezing and starving to death.

My home was built in 1992. I am original owner. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom has probably been no less than 50% of the time over the 31 years. I wonder what they think will be more cost effective and/or energy efficient. ??

“...arguing the move would save U.S. households on energy costs.”

If these wonderful Government promises all come true, my savings in health care, energy consumption, consumer protection, etc, means I’ll be able to retire at age 36.

(actually, I’m 72, but you get my drift)

I agree completely and a lot are suffering why do so few see the connection tutsi solution asap

Every government employee needs to be fired. Call it a term limit for government employees. They no longer work for Americans. They are disconnected from the reality. They can get that reality by working like real Americans in the private sector.

Good one.

[joshua c]

the fans have to be spun by hand

Candles, caves, and crickets.

At the rate they’re saving you money, you will be able to retroactively retire at 36.

[FMBass]

That agency is being rediculous.

As a thought exercise. try to think of one thing, literally anything, that the US government does not feel it should be involved in.

Then review the literal definition of “Totalitarian”.

They want to control everything and everyone. These people are truly Communist left control freaks. This government is so GD out of control...

My ceiling fan identifies as a window.

“the cost to manufacturers associated with the increased equipment will total $86.6 million per year”

Not to worry.

This statement is STUPID!!!

“the new rules would save households about $39 over the LIFESPAN of the new energy-efficient fan”

My fans are 20 YEARS OLD. So using this F*CKED UP Logic, I could have saved a whopping $1.95/YEAR per fan by now. Damn!!! with FOUR FANS I could have had ONE Happy Meal per year. I expect my fans to go 10 more years. Now I would average $1.30/year per fan. Will need 5 fans to get a Happy Meal.

FU BIDEN and your entire administration!!!!

[sauropod]

Exactly.

Now you’re talking. I hope I don’t go too far retro, though...they’d likely abort me.
