The Spin

Republican narrative

Trump is making America's energy policy great again with these reversals of Biden-era regulations. The mandated low-flow fixtures and energy-efficient appliances are more expensive, less effective, and create unnecessary burdens for consumers who should have the freedom to choose their preferred products.

FOX NewsDaily Mail

Democratic narrative

Trump is setting back US energy policy by decades. Energy efficiency standards are crucial tools for reducing emissions, lowering household energy bills, and easing pressure on aging power grids. Both consumers and the environment benefit from these policies, but Trump cares more about the fossil fuel industry.
