You’ve gotta be at least slightly embarrassed by this, right?

Not only will you not be able to afford these monstrosities, that don’t clean. They will be built in China or Mexico, not even helping US manufacturing.

Any appliance with a lower global warming potential is complete shite.

These politicians and bureaucrats are the dumbest MFers on Earth.

Only 13% of all water consumption in the North America is for domestic use. The remainder is industry and agriculture. Slightly lower but on par with South America (19%) and Europe (15%). Africa and all of Asia are under 9% domestic with more than 80% being used by agriculture.


Only 17% of residential water consumption in the US is for laundry.

The amount of water on earth hasn't changed in billions of years. The problem is transportation and getting it to drought prone areas. Are you under the impression that when you run the water in your sink that it "vanishes" once it goes down the drain?



Shhh, these morons think it floats out to space or planet earth must have its own drain plug letting water out.

Didn’t this already happen years ago? Washing machines don’t fill all the way up with water anymore.

Every member of the Biden admin is some type of freak/tranny/degenerate.

But those types of people don't care if they stink or have nasty clothes.

People like the energy secretary probably already have to wear depends.

We are using way too much water, this is a good thing. I’d like for water to still be abundant when my grandkids are growing up.

I agree. It always worries me when people drink water because we can never get that water back

Y’all should be drinking cokes

Make them a region/areas requirement

Sure, Arizona or southern Cali. But not in south Louisiana where we have ample water.

I prefer my clothes to be clean. I already had the 2+ hr run time on my “energy saver” dishwasher

My household would cease to function after a week of the washer taking 2-3hrs for a clean cycle…….

making appliances more “energy friendly” has also led to them being more disposable. is it really better for the “environment” long term replacing washers, dryers, fridges, and dishwashers constantly like we do now?

Don't think it matters what we do. The developing nation of China will offset it in a week. Only a world wide pandemic shut down would make a difference. Oh wait....they did that.

These are the same people that want your small kids dancing provocatively for them while promoting the nonsense that men can have periods and get pregnant. You think you can embarrass people like this?

+1 This stupid "one size fits all" thinking has to go. But the Feds think the entire country is the same. And that people are too stupid to make a choice (OK, many are, but let that be their problem).

I'm good with the Feds setting standards for how this information is presented, so that the customer can make an informed choice. But that should include how clean it gets the clothes, how long the wash cycle is, etc.

So they want our washers to become more expensive, less reliable (as others have said - more going to the landfill, more pollution created from making the replacement in China with a coal powered plant), but knocking another few % off the water usage of a product that's responsible for about 2% of our water usage?

30% less water use would mean ~ 0.6% overall, once every washer is replaced. It would be less of course, for all the times people would run the machine twice to get the clothes clean, or run a smaller load. We need to run a small load on our new washer for sheets towels, the thing goes out of balance and tries like 4 times to rebalance by dumping the water and refilling. I bet that isn't included in their 'energy guide' procedure.

0.13 × 0.17 = 0.0221
