President Donald Trump Orders End to ‘Crooked Joe’ Biden’s Green Energy Regulations on Household Appliances
Breitbart ^ | 11 Feb 2025 | Amy Furr

President Donald Trump is waging war against former President Joe Biden’s green energy regulations on Americans’ household appliances.

Trump made the announcement in a social media post at 5:57 a.m. on Tuesday and said he was instructing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Secretary Lee Zeldin to oversee the matter, Fox News reported.

The president wrote in his post:

I am hereby instructing Secretary Lee Zeldin to immediately go back to my Environmental Orders, which were terminated by Crooked Joe Biden, on Water Standards and Flow pertaining to SINKS, SHOWERS, TOILETS, WASHING MACHINES, DISHWASHERS, etc., and to likewise go back to the common sense standards on LIGHTBULBS, that were put in place by the Trump Administration, but terminated by Crooked Joe. I look forward to signing these Orders. THANK YOU!!!

Biden imposed climate standards for some appliances, including gas stoves, washing machines, and dishwashers during his only term as president, per the Fox report.

The outlet noted that experts and manufacturers said those standards could result in higher-priced alternatives that do not work as well.

In July of 2023, the Biden administration cracked down on water heaters by slapping them with greater efficiency standards, Breitbart News reported at the time.

The following month, Biden imposed a ban on incandescent lightbulbs, limiting what kinds of lighting would be available for consumers.

The Breitbart News report added:

In September 2019, then-President Donald Trump explained his efforts to keep incandescent light bulbs in the United States, saying, “They were forcing you to buy lightbulbs that cost a fortune, so I signed something a couple of days ago that gives you the right to use the incandescent light. Much less expensive.”

In 2023, Biden proposed a rule targeting ceiling fans and Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) took up a fight against it, according to Breitbart News.

Ending anything from Biden and ending anything that says the fraudulent programs listed as ‘green’ is OKAY in my book!

Trump did his best from 2017-2020, but then Biden and his fascist/woke minions came back, and doubled down on the consumer restrictions for everything from light bulbs to washing machines to home water heaters.

This needs to be written into law this time.

Seems pretty straightforward. Find all of Biden’s regulations, list them, and rescind them.

My house used a crawlspace water heater until 2015. Obama’s tyrannical regs quadrupled the cost of replacement because it had to be relocated. Never had an issue before with it being under my house, legally or functionally.

I drove down a road in our county. Nearly all the farm land is fenced off for solar panels. I couldn’t believe it. It is in an area with high winds. Looking forward to the windstorms.

In NYS, Hochul put the kabosh on gas stoves. Does Trump’s declarations cover that?

“Nearly all the farm land is fenced off for solar panels.” I get ‘offers’ every week. No thank you guys, I’d rather see cows or wheat.
