Biden admin's latest home appliance crackdown: ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are now the latest target in the Biden administration's green agenda, sparking pushback from Republicans and manufacturers.

The Department of Energy is proposing a rule that would require ceiling fans to be more energy efficient, arguing the move would save U.S. households on energy costs.

According to the Energy Department's analysis, the new rules would save households about $39 over the lifespan of the new energy-efficient fan. However, the cost to manufacturers associated with the increased equipment will total $86.6 million per year, the department said.

First gas stoves, then water heaters. Now, it is ceiling fans.

Ummmmm a $39 saving over a couple decades of use? Doesn't that tiny $$ savings equal tiny energy savings?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Turn off the electricity in Washington  :argh:

The department of energy needs a house cleaning  :thatsright:

They need to focus on getting more energy for a lower price like Trump did instead of nitpicking on everything that we need and use.

Some people can't grasp the concept of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Those same people are essentially incapable of fixing anything.

Actually, I think their MO is, "If it ain't broke, I'll fix that!"

That's how politicians "work": if it ain't broke, fix it until it is, and pass the blame onto your opposing faction of the Uni-party.

-- Capt. Steve Rogers

And if it is broke, ignore it.

Nah, all they did was take out the LED lights and put in incandescent bulbs for a bright, gay new look.  :coffee:
