Gas Stoves. Now Ceiling Fans?

Ceiling fans are now the latest target in the Biden administration's green agenda, sparking pushback from Republicans and manufacturers.
The Department of Energy is proposing a rule that would require ceiling fans to be more energy efficient, arguing the move would save U.S. households on energy costs.

"This rule would require numerous small business fan manufacturers to redesign their products and may put between 10 and 30 percent of small business ceiling fan manufacturers out of business," the GOP members of the committee wrote in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday. "It appears that the Department of Energy (DOE) may not have properly considered small entities during this rulemaking process."
As if the left cares about small businesses
They love monopolies

This is an issue all southerners can unite on and could hand Georgia back to Trump.

No shite, taking away ceiling fans in the south is fighting words.

You’re missing the point! They shouldn’t have the right to tell us how to live, or what to spend our money on! ITS CONTROL

They're angry that they'll save money on electricity, lol.

Does it make the ceiling fan more expensive?
How much more efficient can a small electric motor get?

It's bad when the new efficiency standard kicks in the new fans will likely move less air than a newborn's fart.

Agreed. How dare they force companies to stop insulating every damn thing you owned with asbestos. Your money!!

Pretty sure the electricity load needed to run such things is about as negligible as can be. For years they were pitched as a way to save electricity, because presumably they would allow you not to have to run an AC as low with them on.

It may be if the extra expense is do great it takes 20 years to recoup your investment.
It’s the law of diminishing returns.
I think there’s more savings possible if you turn it off when you leave the room. There is no appreciable benefit in summer to run a fan when no one is in the room.

Yes because this means most manufacturers are just going to limit the speed of their fans in order to meet these "green" requirements. And those who do find a way of making their fans more efficient will likely be selling fans that don't last as long at a premium (which ends up being more wasteful). We've seen this phenomenon in cars as the EPA keeps squeezing manufacturers for better MPG. Newer cars have more expensive parts and don't last near as long as older vehicles.
Mighty brave of Joe to go after average Americans but not his rich donors who fly private jets every day.

It’s a fan. It rotates in a circle. How much more fricking efficient can it be
