Donald Trump is again stepping up to the plate to swing at what he sees as Joe Biden’s misguided green energy policies that threaten to turn American homes into economic black holes. In a bright and early social media post, Trump announced his intention to fight back against a slew of regulations aimed at household appliances that are making life just a little bit harder for Americans. With the grit and determination of a man who knows a thing or two about running a business, Trump is directing EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin to put the brakes on those Biden-era energy standards that were thrown together by the former vice president who seems intent on turning the nation into a power-saving Bermuda Triangle.
Trump wasted no time laying it out: He’s calling for the repeal of regulations affecting everything from sinks and showers to good old-fashioned toilets—yes, toilets. Under Biden, these appliances are subject to tighter efficiency standards that experts say will only result in costlier options that perform worse. It’s like expecting a fancy restaurant experience when what you’ve actually ordered is rubber chicken at a diner. The former president is pushing to reinstate the common sense rules that allowed Americans the freedom to choose their appliances without interference from overreaching government regulations.
JUST IN: Trump Axes Biden's Green Energy Regulations, Liberates Household Appliances

With Biden’s green regulations appearing faster than a rabbit in a magician’s hat, it’s easy to forget how inconvenient these new rules really are for everyday Americans. In July of 2023, the Biden administration slapped more stringent efficiency standards on water heaters, leaving tired and dirty families to contemplate their next shower with even more dread. And just when consumers thought it couldn’t get worse, the following month brought the fanfare of lightbulb restrictions that left incandescent bulbs in the dark. Consumers are not just facing tougher standards—they’re facing a future that seems more and more like a laboratory experiment gone wrong.
And let’s not overlook Biden’s grand ambitions on the automotive front, where he mistakenly predicted that electric vehicles would take over the roads by 3035—a bold claim for a man who appears to be struggling just to navigate his way through a speech. With a plan to dot the country with 500,000 charging stations, Biden is selling a vision of the future while many Americans would much rather have the option of driving a car that doesn’t require plugging in. Clean energy subsidies and coal plant shutdowns may sound green and innocent, but they come with a hefty price tag that is sure to be passed down to the average American taxpayer.
Adding more steam to Trump’s fight are Republican lawmakers who are rallying behind the former president’s cause. The Republican approach to Biden’s green energy standards seems to be as clear as a sunny day: rallying together to push back against regulations that seem more fit for a climate change seminar than for real American households. Every effort counts as they aim to restore a semblance of choice and affordability in a market increasingly dictated by bureaucratic whims.
In the face of a green energy agenda that is unravelling fabric of American comfort and affordability, Trump’s renewed battle against these appliance regulations serves as a wake-up call not just for appliance users but for anyone who believes in the freedom of consumer choice. Progress may be inevitable, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of common sense.
