Senator Shaheen, Representative Welch, and 50 cosigners send letter to Energy Secretary Granholm and Acting OMB Director Young
In the lead-up to COP26, the SEAD Initiative and partners have launched the Product Efficiency Call to Action, with the goal of doubling the efficiency of four priority products that account for 40% of global energy consumption by 2030.
New analysis from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the 4E Technology Collaboration Program demonstrates that policies which introduce minimum efficiency performance standards and energy-consumption labelling on appliances and equipment have led to reduced power consumption, lower carbon emissions, and increased cost savings for consumers.
Wirecutter’s new take on “The Real Reasons Your Appliances Die Young” has a big reveal: “the mythical 30-year-old fridge in Grandma’s basement ... has been the exception all along.”

President Trump has disparaged energy efficiency standards, but he has limited power to weaken or undo them because federal law prohibits it. That’s a key protection not only for consumers and businesses who purchase and use the products, but also for manufacturers that have invested in improved designs and upgraded factories to make better products.
But what if the Trump administration subverts the standards by not enforcing them?
