Overview

• President Donald Trump has signed six Congressional Review Act resolutions into law, reversing key Biden administration energy efficiency regulations.
• The latest measures include rollbacks of Department of Energy standards for commercial refrigeration, gas-fired water heaters, and energy-efficiency labeling programs.
• Republicans argue that the Biden-era rules limited consumer choice, interfered with market dynamics, and raised costs for businesses and consumers.
• The Congressional Review Act allowed lawmakers to bypass the Senate filibuster and repeal these regulations with simple majority votes in both chambers.
• Critics warn that these rollbacks could undermine environmental goals, increase energy consumption, and reverse progress on reducing emissions.
