Feel like forking over $9,100 to make the world .00000000000000001 degree cooler? From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
The Biden administration’s war on fossil fuels would cost the average American household more than $9,100 per year, according to a consumer watchdog.
The Alliance for Consumers took an infographic from the Biden White House titled “Biden’s Dream Home,” which proposes new energy standards for various appliances, including air conditioners, stoves, washing machines, while the Department of Energy’s so-called Unified List of appliances includes microwave ovens, dehumidifiers and pool pumps.
“Welcome to Biden’s Dream House, where the American dream just got significantly more expensive,” the group wrote on X.
According to the consumer watchdog, gas furnace efficiency standards which will “significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions” for residences (according to the DOE), will cost consumers an estimated $494 additional on average, while dishwasher efficiency standards will cost somewhere between $50 and $400 to comply with, because the proposed rules will lead to drainage problems and clogging.
