Senate End Biden’s Gas Water Heater Ban

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 10

Senate Republicans just voted 52-42 to repeal Joe Biden’s gas water heater ban set for 2029.

Not a single GOP senator opposed the rollback.

And now it’s headed to President Trump’s desk for the final signature.

It’s the fourth Biden-era energy rule to get the axe.

Republicans are on a roll as they keep dismantling Biden’s regulatory nonsense.

The Democrats war on our household appliances is ending.

Daily Caller reports:

Senate Republicans continued their campaign Thursday to roll back stringent energy regulations that were issued during the final months of President Joe Biden’s term.

The Senate voted 52-42 to repeal a Biden Department of Energy regulation banning some natural gas water heaters by 2029. The resolution now heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature. (RELATED: Chuck Schumer Dodges Question Of Whether He Supports New Border Security Funding)

No Republican Senators voted against the repeal. House Republicans, led by Republican Alabama Rep. Gary Palmer, voted to repeal the gas water heater ban in February.

The ban is the fourth Biden energy rule that Congressional Republicans have sent to Trump to repeal as part of their broader effort to dismantle the previous administration’s regulatory agenda.

“The American people called for a new direction this past November, and the Trump administration and the Republican majorities in Congress have wasted no time getting to work to provide relief from burdensome regulations, especially when it comes to energy,” Thune said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “Whether it’s through higher utility bills or higher costs at the grocery store or for other goods, it’s the American people who ultimately bear the cost of these rules … It’s why we’re working hard to eliminate these and many other regulatory burdens.”

If Senate Republicans had not successfully voted to rescind the regulation, Americans would have been forced to pay an additional $450 for alternative water heaters, according to the lead Senate sponsor, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

“Democrats are waging a war on household appliances under the guise of combating climate change,” Cruz upon introducing the joint resolution of disapproval in January. “This rule, rushed through by the Biden administration in its final days, does more harm than good. It forces American families to choose between costly, high-end models or less efficient alternatives — limiting their options and undermining their freedom of choice.”

First President Trump got rid of Biden’s low-flow shower heads, and now this.

Things are looking up.

Who here misses seeing Karine Jean-Pierre every day?

Well that was short lived.

Nice try, Biden.
