The 'Liberty in Laundry' bill is set to challenge Biden's green energy standards for washing machines with a vote in the House.

Soon, lawmakers will vote on legislation to counter the Biden administration's green energy standards for household appliances.

In February, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a final rule that tightened energy standards for residential clothes washers (RCWs), including washing machines. As a result, certain less-efficient models of washers and dryers will no longer be allowed for sale, according to DOE.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., recently introduced legislation known as the "Liberty in Laundry Act" to bypass the Biden administration's green energy initiative.

The legislation will be voted on by the House on Tuesday. If it passes, it will prevent the Energy Secretary and DOE from implementing new or amended energy efficiency standards for clothes washers that are not feasible and justified economically.

"President Biden and Washington bureaucrats' efforts to regulate household appliances are detrimental to American families and small businesses, according to House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. People should have the freedom to choose their own washing machines without government interference."

The DOE claimed that the new standards on clothing washers would decrease approximately 71 million metric tons of "harmful carbon dioxide emissions" in the next three decades.

Jennifer M. Granholm, the Secretary of Energy, stated in a February press release that the DOE's appliance standards actions for clothes washers and dryers have resulted in significant savings for American families while also reducing harmful carbon emissions.

The Biden administration's efforts to limit natural gas-powered appliances are being opposed by House Republicans through a series of legislative proposals this Congress.

Incentives have been introduced by democratic lawmakers to encourage individuals to switch to green appliances, such as in New York, where Gov. Kathy Hochul recently proposed plans to provide payments of up to $840 for residents who replace their clothes dryers with eco-friendly alternatives.
