  • 14 Democratic AGs and the Corporation Counsel for the City of New York submitted 16 comment letters to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) opposing the agency’s proposed rescission of water and energy efficiency standards for certain consumer and commercial appliances.
  • The letters argue that the agency’s proposed changes, if implemented, would be unlawful, raise utility costs for consumers and businesses, and contribute to climate change by increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The AGs urge the DOE to withdraw its proposed rescissions.
  • We have previously reported on State AGs’ reactions to DOE efficiency standards for appliances, including Republican AGs’ opposition to the imposition of stricter efficiency standards for washing machines.
