On May 9, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders and bills overturning Biden-era energy and water efficiency regulations. The actions include repeals of federal standards for gas-fired water heaters, refrigerators, freezers, walk-in coolers, and other household appliances. Key legislative measures signed into law include H.J.Res. 42, H.J. Resolution 75, and bills introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer, Rep. Andrew Clyde, Rep. Craig Goldman, and Rep. Brian Jack. Trump also signed a presidential memorandum instructing the Department of Energy to consider rescinding or weakening regulations for water and energy efficiency in dishwashers, washing machines, showers, faucets, toilets, and urinals. The memorandum directs a pause in enforcement of these rules until they are revised or rescinded. The administration announced plans to eliminate the Energy Star program, a voluntary certification for energy-efficient appliances established in 1992. Additional executive actions included restoring commercial fishing access to areas previously restricted and targeting the Energy Policy Act of 1992 for possible repeal or revision. These legislative measures were passed through the Congressional Review Act, allowing Congress to overturn regulations from the previous administration. Supporters argue the rollbacks increase consumer choice and reduce regulatory burdens.

Trump wants to end the Energy Star program which helps consumers identify energy-efficient products. It's an effective program that saves Americans $40 billion on their energy bills every year, while contributing to cleaner air. https://t.co/fcWYBQ79zl
