The Department of Energy quietly announced new dishwasher efficiency rules to save us money.

The standard for maximum per-cycle water consumption (gal/cycle) now is 5. Many newer dishwashers are 3.5. But the DoE wants to make it 3.3.

“This Administration is using all of the tools at our disposal to save Americans money while promoting innovations that will reduce carbon pollution and combat the climate crisis,” stated Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “With today’s announcements, DOE is making rapid progress to strengthen outdated energy efficiency standards—as directed by Congress and in coordination with our industry partners and stakeholders—and support healthier, safer communities for the American people.”

The Biden Administration Department of Energy is going after dishwashers.

It already takes more than 3 hours to run my dishwasher through a normal cycle. This BS and regulatory overreach likely would push newer machines to 5 hours or more.

Cue the lawsuits . . .
