Another Gift From the Administration That Hates You: Biden Quietly Bans Many Gas-Powered Water Heaters

As Joe Biden's disastrous presidency winds down, the president seems to daily go out of his way to kneecap the incoming Trump administration and stick a finger in the eye—to put it nicely—of the American people, who made it abundantly clear in November that they want no more part of him, Kamala or their ilk.

And as he continues his battle against affordable, reliable energy and tries to foist not-ready-for-prime technology on us, he’s quietly made another move, this one to ban affordable water heaters:
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.

Our friends at our sister site Twitchy rounded up some of the social media reaction to Biden’s latest far-left move. Let’s just say, a whole bunch of folks weren’t happy:

One thing you can be sure about: as with virtually all of Doddering Joe’s policies, it will make life more expensive for the very people he prattles on about caring about: regular Americans. I’m sure Nancy Pelosi won’t notice the price difference, but many of us will:
One industry analysis estimates that consumers will pay $450 more on average when purchasing new water heaters thanks to the regulations. And that will impact low-income and senior households, which are most reliant on the models targeted by the Department of Energy.The move represents the latest climate-related action taken by the Biden administration in the weeks following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump has vowed to roll back a wide swath of the climate regulations issued under President Joe Biden in an effort to boost energy production and drive economic growth.
As the last few weeks leading up to Inauguration Day crawl by, it seems that Joe keeps proving daily why he will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of America. And each day, it seems, he shows a certain one of his fingers to the American people.
