Biden admin crackdown on dishwashers faces widespread opposition
Fox News
A recent Department of Energy proposal to increase efficiency standards for dishwashers is facing pushback from a coalition of nearly 20 industry and consumer groups.
"The proposed rule would tighten the energy and water efficiency standards for residential dishwashers, despite the fact that the standards currently in effect are causing serious problems for consumers," the letter stated. "Those problems include cycle times an hour or more longer than were the norm before the standards went into effect, as well as other adverse impacts." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"The proposed rule would exacerbate these problems and thus further violate the consumer protections built into the law," it continued. "For these reasons, we believe the proposed rule should be withdrawn and that the Department of Energy should shift its focus to addressing the drawbacks caused by its existing dishwasher regulations."
