The House of Representatives has passed two bills, the Refrigerator Freedom Act and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards (SUDS) Act, aimed at rolling back energy efficiency standards imposed by the Biden administration on home appliances. House Republicans argue that these regulations limit consumer choice and increase costs, while Democrats criticize the bills as political stunts that prioritize appliance freedom over more pressing issues like reproductive rights and lowering utility costs. The bills passed with votes of 212-192 and 214-192, respectively. HouseGOP claims the legislation fights back against Biden's radical climate agenda and climate extremists.
