The Department of Energy proposed new appliance rules that would cut water and energy use limits for Americans' dishwashers well below current levels.
The proposal would limit dishwashers to using 3.2 gallons of water per cycle, far below the current federal limit of 5 gallons. The rules would also require manufacturers to reduce their products' energy consumption by nearly 30%.
Most dishwashers on the market are already well below the federal standard of 5 gallons, with most using 3.5 gallons per cycle or less.
Dishwashers are not the only appliances Biden's DOE has set its sights on, however, as the regulator is also considering crackdowns on washers, dryers and refrigerators that manufacturers say could reduce performance.
The Biden administration has made clear that the new limits are coming thanks to the president's climate agenda.
"Collectively these energy efficiency actions … support President Biden's ambitious clean energy agenda to combat the climate crisis," the DOE wrote earlier this year.
The proposed rules come on the heels of a national reckoning over gas stoves. While top Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer argued there was nothing to worry about, his own state banned gas stoves just last week.

King Brandon.
Thought it was the Bee. Guess not.
Idiots, so you run the dishwasher 2 cycles instead of run and use 20% more water.
By the time Dark Brandon is done, you’ll be slapping your clothes on a flat rock. If you’re lucky. If you’re still alive.
Commercial dishwashers are prohibitively expensive. It looks like we are going to have to buy refurbished if we want clean dishes.
Can’t they just go away...My apt project has a new HD clothes washer. It s****.
Even the current dishwashers don’t get the job done. I basically run every plate and utensil under the sink faucet and give them a quick wipe using much more water than they are saving.
I find it difficult to lay my finger upon the exact clause in The Constitution that would allow for such a rule.....................
Modern dish washers dont work worth a crap. How you gonna legislate that Brandon?
Thats when I stopped loading the dishwasher. Nope. Dont play that game no more.
Ain’t seen Doe Eyes McCarthy makin’ any attempt to undo the Administrative State.
Guess they didn’t talk about that Fred’s Sledz where he sold used cars in Bakersfield. Oh Well.
When and if Congress would like to repeal the Administrative Procedures Act and keep the law making function to themselves, this will end. Until then, they’re just spectators, and third rate law school gradiates do the real ruling of the peon class known as “Americans”.
bttt
Like modern toilets. Flush before sitting to prevent skid marks on the porcelain. Flush again during use for courtesy. Flush again before depositing the tissue. One last flush to clear everything down the drain.
It’s because of the asthma.
The sad thing is Trump created a “Fast Dishwasher” standard that brought back the old style dishwashers. But Biden killed it
Stolen elections matter.
Can’t do that. Waters of the United States will rule that is polluting and it will be banned.
