Thanks in part to those measures, the total amount of energy and water used by American households has not grown nearly as fast as the population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the Trump administration has framed the standards as an example of governmental overreach. Mr. Trump has also made a habit of complaining about shower heads with weak water pressure, or toilets that don\u2019t flush properly, and has blamed efficiency standards for those issues. Conservative groups have also argued that efficiency standards hurt the performance of appliances like dishwashers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Energy Department\u2019s list of appliance regulations it has targeted includes air cleaners, battery chargers, compressors, cooking tops, dehumidifiers, external power supplies, microwave ovens, dishwashers and faucets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Getting rid of the standards would \u201ccut more than 125,000 words from the Code of Federal Regulations,\u201d the department said. Still, rolling back the standards would require a new rule-making process thatcould take months or longer. The rollback is also likely to face legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Environmental Protection Agency, meanwhile, is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/06\/climate\/epa-energy-star-eliminated.html\" title=\"\">planning to eliminate Energy Star<\/a>, the popular energy-efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the past, manufacturers have been supportive of government efficiency standards, but now they are moving to take advantage of Mr. Trump\u2019s deregulatory drive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, which represents 150 manufacturers behind 95 percent of the household appliances shipped for sale within the United States, said it was still evaluating Monday\u2019s announcements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Jill A. Notini, a spokeswoman for the association, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aham.org\/AHAM\/Energy_Efficiency\/AHAM\/EnergyEfficiency\/Energy_Efficiency.aspx\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pointed to a statement<\/a> in which the association said that the standards had \u201chelped achieve decades of successful improvements in appliance efficiency.\u201d The association added, \u201cWith most appliances operating near peak efficiency, additional meaningful savings are unlikely for some products\u201d without some loss of performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In addition to repealing efficiency measures, the Energy Department is planning to eliminate several clean energy and climate change programs. It will rescind reporting requirements for a voluntary program under which companies can report their greenhouse gas emissions, and end a program that provides payments for electricity produced with renewable power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Energy Department is also getting rid of what it calls \u201cunscientific\u201d diversity, equity and inclusion requirements for grant recipients. Specifically, it is proposing to repeal regulations to ensure grant recipients are not discriminated against on the basis of sex, race or age.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some proposals seem to have little to do with the department\u2019s purview. One proposed repeal, for example, is for \u201cEnding Requirements for Members of One Sex to Be Able to Try Out for Sports Teams of the Opposite Sex.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
