New York to save billions of gallons of water with water-saving standards

New York made a big splash recently by updating water-saving standards for four common plumbing products—faucets, showerheads, toilets, and urinals.

States Step Up on Appliance Standards as the Federal Government Goes Backwards
States took the lead on new appliance efficiency standards during the first half of 2019, helping to counter some of the federal government’s efforts to stall and even reverse energy and water efficiency progress. Legislators in ten states and the District of Columbia filed bills to adopt appliance standards for more than 15 products not covered by national standards.

Even as DOE continues to miss deadlines for updating efficiency standards, consumers are still seeing energy and dollar savings growing due to standards established prior to the current administration.

The Bipartisan Opportunity of Energy Efficiency

New York Times Op-ed

By Terry Sobolewski and Ralph Cavanagh, NRDC

Partisan fights in Washington can leave the impression that we’re hopelessly divided. The truth is there are plenty of bipartisan solutions to the energy and environmental challenges we face, and energy efficiency is near the top of the list.
