Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Monday said the Energy Department slashed 47 regulations that put onerous strictures on consumer appliances, placed limits on building and energy production, and doled out taxpayer dollars to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) grants. [emphasis, links added]
"While it would normally take years for the Department of Energy to remove just a handful of regulations, the Trump Administration assembled a team working around the clock to reduce costs and deliver results for the American people in just over 110 days," Wright said in a statement.
"Thanks to President Trump's leadership, we are bringing back common sense, slashing regulations meant to appease Green New Deal fantasies, restrict consumer choice, and increase costs for the American people. Promises made, promises kept."
Wright noted [Trump's] deregulatory actions would directly benefit American consumers, and joked, "That's what my wife wants for Mother's Day - a shower with normal water pressure again!" -- Climate Dispatch

Waste fuel, wears out starters, is dangerous about restarting when you lift your foot from accelerator. More Green waste. Dealers should be required to fix it at no cost to buyers. Have a 24 Subaru that does not do it

The automakers should be required to remove it if the owner requests it.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on Monday announced that he would eliminate the 'climate-friendly' start-stop technology in new vehicles. [emphasis, links added]
The technology automatically turns off a car when it has stopped, in order to save fuel and reduce emissions, and then starts it back up again when the driver releases the brake or hits the accelerator, according to Newsweek.
"Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy," Zeldin posted on X.
"EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we're fixing it."
MORE WINNING FOR AMERICANS! THIS WAS THE DUMBEST IDEA EVER!
