President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at easing efficiency standards for household appliances and fixtures as part of his pledge to 'unleash American energy.' This move could potentially lead to higher water and electric bills for consumers.
The standards in question cover a range of household items such as dishwashers, showerheads, refrigerators, laundry machines, toilets, and more. These standards are designed to reduce energy and water consumption, ultimately saving consumers money in the long run despite potential higher upfront costs.
