Biden’s Green Agenda Is Making Every Part Of Owning A Home More Expensive, Watchdog Says – By Will Kessler (Daily Caller) / Oct 27, 2023
President Joe Biden’s climate proposals will substantially increase average Americans’ home expenses for purchases like appliances, according to data from the Alliance For Consumers (AFC).
The financial burden of the Biden administration’s policies targeting household appliances totals $9,166 in new costs for average Americans per home, according to the AFC. The Biden administration has set its sights on a number of appliances to regulate as a part of its green agenda, including gas furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners and more, in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions.
“Any government-imposed efficiency mandate creates a burden for American families and businesses for many reasons,” Jack Spencer, a senior research fellow for energy and environmental policy in the Center for Energy, Climate and Environment at The Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “First, it removes economic flexibility. While some families and businesses may prefer to pay more up front to achieve longer-term savings, others may decide that their limited financial resources would be better applied to other priorities, like food or housing. Second, by mandating that Americans purchase certain products, such policies undermine the incentive for firms to produce efficient products at competitive prices.”
