Biden Administration Announces Crackdown on Another Appliance

After eyeing gas stoves, the Biden administration is enacting new regulations on air conditioners.

The federal government announced new environmental standards on air conditioners on Thursday, according to Fox News. Biden has also cracked down on refrigerators and washers.

The standards will distinguish between window units and portable air cleaners. The rules for the latter will take effect in 2024, with standards for window units slated for 2026.
