In the latest move to enforce energy efficiency standards, the Biden regime has set its sights on an unexpected household item: the ceiling fan. As part of a broader push to address “climate change” and reduce energy consumption, the Department of Energy (DOE) is looking to implement new rules that could significantly affect consumers.
It was clear from day one @POTUS he was not on the side of America’s small businesses.

The proposed regulations seek to establish strict energy efficiency requirements for ceiling fans. Although the regime argues that these new rules will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy bills, critics see the move as another example of government overreach and unnecessary regulation.
According to DOE’s analysis, the proposed standards would only save consumers a minimal amount on their energy bills over the life of the product. On the other hand, the manufacturing industry warns that these rules could increase the cost of ceiling fans, making them less affordable for the average American.
From New York Post:
The proposal has drawn criticism from both conservatives and actors in the sector. They argue that government meddling in the minutiae of home appliances is a step too far and that consumers should be able to make their own choices based on personal preferences and needs.
Moreover, it has been argued that these new standards are only a small part of the Biden regime’s broader climate agenda, which includes controversial measures such as the push for electric vehicles and the phase-out of fossil fuels. Some see the move as further signaling the regime’s willingness to impose regulations without regard for potential economic impacts on businesses and consumers.
Climate cultists support the initiative, claiming that every step towards energy efficiency helps in the fight against climate change. They argue that the cumulative impact of these measures can make a significant difference in reducing carbon emissions.
The proposed rules are open for public comment, and the final regulations are expected to be published in the coming months. This has opened a window for supporters and opponents alike to voice their opinions and influence the final decision.
In conclusion, the Biden regime’s focus on ceiling fans as part of its climate strategy is a contentious issue. While climate freaks applaud the move, it faces strong opposition from conservatives, sane people and industry representatives who see it as an example of government overreach.
