President Joe Biden has made climate change and the green energy transition a massive focus of his administration by passing laws like the Inflation Reduction Act that designates $369 billion toward America's green energy transition. The Biden administration also has taken smaller steps to reduce the nation's carbon footprint as well, such as establishing stricter regulations for gas stoves and dishwashers.
Now, the DOE is examining ceiling fans and proposing ways to make them more efficient.
DOE's analyses indicate that the proposed energy conservation standards for ceiling fans would save a significant amount of energy," a proposed rule from the DOE published on June 22 said.
The proposed standards would impact most varieties of ceiling fans, including standard varieties used in households.
"These proposed standards, which are required by Congress, wouldn't take effect until 2028, would give Americans more energy efficient options to choose from, and would save hardworking taxpayers up to $369 million per year, while substantially reducing harmful air pollution—a crucial fact that some have conveniently failed to mention," a DOE spokesperson told Newsweek.
The proposed standards for ceiling fans are projected to yield significant environmental benefits," it said.
If the standards are implemented, ceiling fan owners could see energy savings with the new energy-efficient fans by saving $16.69 over the lifespan of the fan for standard ceiling fans.
The comment period for the proposal closed on August 21, and the DOE is in the midst of reviewing all comments, data and information. If the proposed rule is passed, standard residential ceiling fans complying with the rule would cut electricity costs by 40 percent for fan operation when compared with the least efficient fans on the market. The purchase price for the energy-efficient fans would increase by about $10, and the DOE estimated that the increase in cost would be covered by energy bill savings within four years.

If the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor today the damned MAGAS would give the bastards Hawaii.
They won’t get their shots, won’t send their kids to school, and whine, bitch, moan, groan and complain over spending ten dollars more for a ceiling fan that uses 40% less juice and should last a lot longer.
For such complainers, getting shot at to safe democracy would be entirely out of the question
