Home energy costs are soaring. Why does Trump want our appliances to be even less efficient?

Energy costs are on the rise, and the Trump administration has proposed a new rule to make future efficiency standards for home appliances more challenging to enforce. This move is part of a broader effort to undermine energy efficiency mandates that experts argue can save Americans money on their bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions. As energy prices continue to soar, these actions seem counterintuitive and could lead to higher long-term costs for consumers and greater environmental impact.
