The Donald Trump administration is preparing a major rewrite of federal appliance efficiency regulations, which officials say will roll back what they call restrictive “Green New Scam” mandates.

The proposed rule aims to preserve consumer choice by limiting future federal efforts to regulate appliances like gas stoves, HVAC systems, lightbulbs, and dryers.

United States Department of Energy officials argue that past administrations imposed stricter efficiency standards that increased costs or reduced appliance performance.

The proposal would also change how efficiency rules are written going forward and is now open for public comment before becoming final, Fox News has reported.

The announcement comes amid broader debates over energy use and climate policy during a global heat wave.
