"Biden Energy Dept Orders Sweeping Review Of Trump Energy Rules" [1]

"The Biden administration will review several of the Trump administration’s most controversial energy rules, teeing up a possible reversal of policies that eased or erased efficiency regulations for lightbulbs, showerheads and more.

A Friday list from the Department of Energy (DOE) notified the White House of a number of Trump-era policies the department will weigh suspending, revising or rescinding. The move follows a Day 1 order from President Biden mandating a sweeping review of Trump’s environmental policies.

On the list are a number of pet policies of Trump, who often complained about low flow fixtures and LED lightbulbs on the campaign trail."
