Not satisfied to confine its green meddling to gas stoves and gas generators, the central planners in the Biden White House now want to raise the price of water heaters by imposing new technology requirements on manufacturers.

On Friday, the unconstitutional Department of Energy proposed new energy-efficiency standards that would require electric water heaters to come equipped with heat pump technology, and gas heaters to use condensing technology. The standards would take effect in 2029.

Noting that water heating accounts for about 13% of residential energy costs, the Energy Department claimed the new dictates would save consumers $11.4 billion on their energy and water bills each year while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 501 million metric tons over 30 years.

“Today’s actions—together with our industry partners and stakeholders—improve outdated efficiency standards for common household appliances, which is essential to slashing utility bills for American families and cutting harmful carbon emissions,” said Energy Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm

One of these days, the "central planners" are going to come out with their real agenda. Cutting the population down to 5% of the current Earth's population. People who are awake understand this is the end game. Unfortunately, too many are still fast asleep in a deep slumber. The Luciferians have told the world that they will allow 500 MILLION people to live on this planet via the Georgia Guidestones. Believe them when they tell you what they want for they are in the process of making it happen right now.
