With only days left in his disastrous presidency, Joe Biden is trying to make life more difficult for millions of Americans by banning most types of natural gas water heaters.
It’s just the latest example of Biden, or the people around him, trying to put roadblocks in the way of the incoming Trump administration. As the Gateway Pundit reported just yesterday, Biden is trying to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters.
Biden and his team know that energy development is key to what Trump wants to do once in office. None of this is happening by accident. Biden is surrounded by climate change activists. They are doing all of this on purpose and for obvious reasons.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Biden Bans Scores of Natural Gas Water Heaters, Driving Up Prices With Lame-Duck Regulations
The Biden administration finalized climate regulations to ban most natural gas-powered instantaneous water heaters—a move that critics say will drive up costs for consumers.
The Department of Energy—which formally published the rules the day after Christmas—didn’t issue a press release announcing the action, a departure from past appliance regulations. The published rules say the regulations are expected to help the climate by curbing carbon dioxide emissions.
Overall, under the regulations, roughly 40 percent of the new tankless water heaters available in the United States today will be taken off the market by 2029. Experts and industry officials say that will force consumers to purchase either more expensive or less efficient water heater models.
One industry analysis estimates that consumers will pay $450 more on average when purchasing new water heaters thanks to the regulations.
The liberal media did their duty by keeping this quiet.

This is likely coming from activists on Biden’s team.
Biden did none of this.
We have an incapacitated President with hordes of unaccountable activist bureaucrats and aides running roughshod over our Constitution. https://t.co/VigrOVem3P

There’s no way this holds up once Biden and his people are gone.
