The Trump Administration’s Energy Department is rolling back the Biden Administration’s draconian regulations on appliances.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announced this week that the Department of Energy has further postponed the implementation of three of the Biden-Harris administration’s restrictive mandates on home appliances.
As the Globe explained in December:
California is set to become the first state to ban natural gas heaters, water heaters, and furnaces by 2030, a policy of the California Air Resources Board, entirely made up of appointees by the governor, I reported in 2023 in The Tangled Government Web Behind the Push to Ban Gas Stoves, where we link Harvard Health Publishing, the Rocky Mountain Institute, MDPI International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine. NIH is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world. The WHO is named in the studies, as are many Chinese studies.
These groups were behind the Biden administration’s attempt to ban gas stoves and gas appliances.
