Trump deregulation effort quietly kills obnoxious Biden-era appliance schemes

COMMENTARY
By Editorial Board - The Washington Times - Friday, May 2, 2025
OPINION:
Americans may not realize how different their life would be right now had Vice President Kamala Harris moved into the Oval Office three-and-a-half months ago. Democrats were poised to advance their perverse schemes to render modern conveniences progressively worse when voters crushed their fantasy.
Nationwide, gas is cheaper with President Trump at the helm. AAA’s scoreboard shows an average gallon costs $3.18, down from $3.67 last May. This figure is a bit misleading, because the price in sane jurisdictions like Virginia and Texas has dropped to $3 or $2.75, respectively. Large, hyper-regulatory states like California skew the national average by imposing so many taxes that the pump price jumps to $4.80.
The same left-leaning zealotry that makes driving in the Golden State unaffordable was about to spoil electric motors, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and external power supplies. Energy Department employees had a set of rules ready to go that would have doubled costs and halved the functionality of these products under a prospective Democratic administration.
The department’s new management team dashed the busybodies’ dreams, most recently canceling plans to overregulate hot tubs. Last month, the House and Senate joined the effort, approving Congressional Review Act repeals of President Joe Biden’s red tape for walk-in freezers and gas-fired water heaters. These joint resolutions are headed to the White House for Mr. Trump’s eager signature.
As consumers clamored for alternatives to the feeble showering experience designed by leftist regulators, Mr. Biden dispatched the bathroom police to hunt down any company that dared fill that demand. One of the cleverest solutions to the bureaucratic hurdles used an array of multiple, 2.5 gallon-per-minute nozzles that restored reasonable flow levels. The bathroom police declared such products illegal.
Donald Trump defunded the bathroom police and legalized workarounds. “Americans pay for their water and should be free to choose the showerheads they prefer,” Deputy Assistant Energy Secretary Lou Hrkman noted in a statement.
As the president boosted consumer showering efficiency, he also deftly reasserted his authority over the executive branch. In his executive order, he declared: “Notice and comment is unnecessary because I am ordering the repeal. The rescission shall be effective 30 days from the date of publication of the notice.”
Federal judges — nearly all appointed by Democrats — have been pointing to lack of such notice as an excuse to preserve the policies that Ms. Harris would have kept in place. The president called the judicial bluff, asserting the commander in chief holds exclusive power under Article II of the Constitution to set executive branch policy, not the federal bureaucracy.
