This decision rounds off a week marked by critiques against policies designed to help Americans save money by encouraging manufacturers to produce water and energy-saving products. Earlier in the week, reports from CNN and E&E News indicated that the Trump administration planned to close the Energy Star program as part of a proposed “reorganization” at the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Energy Star program certifies products for energy efficiency, enabling consumers to choose the most efficient home appliances by identifying the well-known blue Energy Star label. The regulations that President Trump is currently challenging are essentially consumer protections aimed at ensuring customers can buy products that adhere to sensible efficiency standards.

A White House fact sheet says the Secretary of Energy should work with the Office of Legislative Affairs to make recommendations to Congress on any water pressure “or related energy efficiency laws” that ought to change or be repealed altogether.

It also says the Secretary of Energy should pause enforcement of the rules mentioned in the memorandum until they’re rescinded or revised. “The Federal Government should not impose or enforce regulations that make taxpayers’ lives worse,” the presidential memorandum says.

“It’ll only raise costs for consumers to get rid of these standards, if they get rid of these standards,” says Andrew deLaski, executive director of the Appliance Standards Awareness Project. “Congress enacted these laws, the president can’t just decide that they’re going to go away.”
