Regarding Energy, the Left Wants Us to Live Smaller Lives. Americans Don’t Do That.

A few years ago, my wife and I bought a new washer and dryer. - Gary Abernathy - The Empowerment Alliance

We were convinced by the salesperson to buy a set that promised

• energy efficiency for the dryer 
• and, for the washer, 
• better cleaning 
• using less water.

You know what happened. 

In the name of “efficiency,” our clothes, towels, blankets and other items came out barely damp and far from clean...

That’s why most Americans from coast to coast are likely celebrating the announcement from the U.S. Department of Energy last week that it intends to “permanently end home appliance and equipment mandates that raise costs and disrupt consumer choice,” according to a press release.

• “In America, you should be able to choose a dryer that dries clothes on the first try rather than one that takes multiple cycles – unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said...

For too long, Americans have been treated like children, coerced into buying over-priced “energy efficient” appliances and technologies that don’t do the job, and shamed into adopting lifestyles that are uncomfortable and unnecessary.

• The answer is not to make our lives smaller. 
• Americans have never thrived by embracing such a philosophy.
• Instead, the solution is to make the most of the resources at our disposal. 
• Dream big. 
• Overcome challenges...
