One of these cases involved home appliances. The Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the arguments advanced by 11 red states. These states sued the US Department of Energy over its policies related to dishwashers and washing machines. The US Supreme Court&#8217;s refusal to hear this case allowed the latest court&#8217;s ruling to stand.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Just the News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Monday sided with 11 red states that sued the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) over its promulgated efficiency standards for dishwashers and washing machines, ruling that &#8220;it is unclear the DOE has any statutory authority to regulate water use in dishwashers and clothes washers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The court also stated in its opinion that, even if it does have that authority and the agency had water-usage authority over these appliances, it failed to consider the &#8220;negative consequences&#8221; of the standards, which would have the opposite effect of their intent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The administrative record contains ample evidence that DOE&#8217;s efficiency standards likely do the opposite: They make Americans use more energy and more water for the simple reason that the purported &#8216;energy efficient&#8217; appliances do not work,&#8221; the ruling explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has committed extensive attention to reducing the energy and water use of just about every appliance in the home, including gas stoves, dishwashers, air conditioners, refrigerators, light bulbs, washing machines, microwaves and furnaces.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2018, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), the Daily Caller reported, proposed standards for new dishwashers that would run faster cycles, which would increase energy and water consumption. The Trump administration adopted guidelines that aligned with the CEI proposal, but President Joe Biden repealed those standards in 2021. It then went on to propose its own, more stringent standards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just the News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/politics-policy\/energy\/federal-courts-pass-down-decisions-impacting-home-appliances-renewable\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of energy development related cases were presented to the US Supreme Court for possible &hellip; <a title=\"The US Supreme Court refuses to hear cases related to home appliances\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=152133\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The US Supreme Court refuses to hear cases related to home appliances<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=152133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152133\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=152133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=152133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=152133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
