re: Biden admin cracks down on air conditioners as war on appliances continues

The DOE said the move would cut air pollution and push consumer costs down by billions of dollars via energy savings.

If a solution existed that could truly provide both of these benefits (without a catch), then it wouldn't require government action to implement. The market would provide it


Edit: but there is a catch. A huge one. ACs that can provide this level of efficiency will be very expensive, and most likely wont be able to cool your home as quickly as current ACs.

I overheard my refrigerator chatting with the microwave this morning. He said, first they came for the gas oven, and I didn't say anything because I wasn't a gas oven. Then they came for the air conditioner, and I didn't say anything because I'm not a air conditioner. Then they came for me

Critics have blasted the rules as federal overreach and unnecessary given that the industry has improved technology without government intervention. "What these mandates, what these standards, do is enforce a level of efficiency that doesn't make sense,"

There is no more efficient use of energy than gas for heating, cooking and hot water. I'm sure the Marxist hens who handle the senile old fool don't know where electricity comes from.

so you didn't read the story.

its for reduced use of electricity by the next generation of equipment.
only a dunce can be against that. op went for faux outrage with fake news thread title. Biden's not against a.c.

It's really adorable that you think these new appliances are going to magically become more efficient at the exact same price as before. So cute. I'm sure all of those people buying new ACs are going to pay exactly the same amount as they paid before because that is how new and improved models have always worked. The only way the dems are going to keep from hitting consumers with higher price tags is by forcing tax payers to foot the bill with credits. Otherwise all the poorer people in the south will have to pay more for ACs out of their increasingly shrinking purchasing power.

Sorry but this you can't magically increase efficiency with no costs to the consumer. If they could, these AC manufacturers would have already done it.

But thanks for the input dunce.

Remind Karen that she voted for Biden when she and her other menopause aged (hot flashing) friends can’t sip Chardonnay in air conditioned comfort.

let them complain to the manager !!!

BIDEN KILLS GRANDMA!

Not surprised.

Look at the state's that need HVAC (due to heat/humidity) vs those that vote for to current regime.

Stolen elections have consequences.

Residential HVAC systems already went up about 30% across the board at the beginning of the year with the SEER to SEER2 efficiency changes.

Goodman has already rolled out a 2-6% cost increase this month.

They will do their best to make residential split systems so expensive that a significant portion of the population won't be able to afford HVAC systems in their houses.

We have troops dodging missiles in Syria and this goof ball is worried about air conditioners. How his approval rating isn't zero I will never understand.

I'd like to think an entity as massive as the federal government could multitask but then again I'm not a retard like you

How do people go so far off the rails in their upbringing and education, whereby they develop this overarching desire to control seemingly every single freaking aspect of the lives and very existence of others?
