All through 2023, there has been massive uproar about various regulations being places on regular household appliances we all hold dear. In New York, there has been a full-blown ban places on gas stoves. The Empire State also has cracked down on pizza ovens in Manhattan, in efforts to "turn down emissions." Most recently, the ban on incandescent light bulbs, which was originally passed in 2007, finally was implemented, forcing Americans to buy LED lights only.
Where there are not full bans, there are heavy regulations being placed, with virtually no oversight or opposition. Washing machines and dish washers have been reformed to use less water, and cycle longer.
The Climate Depot's Marc Morano says people getting new appliances are finding frustration amid this push to 'save the planet.'
"The cycle times on washers is increased, without cleaning anything better...because they are using less water, and less power. They are not even performing up to the standards of 10 or 20 years ago," he says. "What they are not fully banning, they are restricting down to making them inefficient mush."
With these new regulations, comes heftier price tags, and new, supposedly fancier hardware. But the headaches? Those are just getting started.
"You are just looking at people getting frustrated...some places are having to run dish washers twice, or their washing machine twice...that just defeats the purpose of this whole 'energy saving' idea," he says.
Remember, all of this too is in the Left's agenda for 'going green," and Biden's Department of Energy's push to impose their ideas on Americans, without them even paying attention.
"There have been no votes for this...all this does nothing for the planet. All it does it empower government bureaucrats and bean counters to make our lives less profitable," he says. "At some point, the American consumer has to stand up, and say that enough is enough."
Some appliance owners have even had to put disclaimers and warn customers that their new machines will likely not work as well as the old ones.
While we suffer, pay more, and get less production, the Biden Department of Energy gets to continue making decisions without any kind of direct check and balance. So, the solution?
"We probably need some kind of legislation...we need to somehow reign in the Department of Energy and restrictions," he says. "We cannot have Americans waking up every day, and some unelected bureaucrat announcing some new restriction on something we own."
