President Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly sought to roll back federal energy efficiency standards for everyday appliances, from showerheads to refrigerators, claiming these rules drive up costs rather than save consumers money.

The effort by Republicans highlights a broader partisan divide over energy efficiency standards, with Democrats and environmental groups warning that weakening the standards could increase household energy bills and slow efforts to reduce emissions. The push to roll back standards comes amid growing concerns over affordability, as electricity prices rise and energy demand continues to grow.
