U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to end Energy Star, a program whose iconic blue labels have certified the energy efficiency of home appliances for more than three decades, as part of its broader reorganization, two sources briefed on the reorganization told Reuters.

The proposed end of the popular program would come as part of the dissolution of the EPA's Office of Atmospheric Protection (OAP) and the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards - presented as part of Friday's agency reorganization announcement.

That kid almost had high schools named after him.

Energy hungry appliances means more energy (electricity/gas) consumed. trump's other efforts are killing green energy generation. So these two things together mean more fossil fuel energy consumption which props up his selling us all out to fossil fuel interests. This tracks with trumps corporate capture.

Your life is worth some extra money to a billionaire. It’s worth it.

It's a bizarre situation of pro global warming for its own sake. Like nor even oil companies want everything he's doing

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Near the top of the list for fossil fuel interests is *checks notes*. How about that? Russia.

I’m just going to start saying it. Will someone please just kill this motherfucker already?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

He's clearly an enemy of the United States of America. Everything he does hurts average Americans.

This country has ZERO issues killing our enemies.

Nothing will get better until we start talking about it.

What's wrong with this asshole?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What isn't wrong with him?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He is still breathing

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's evil. I honestly can't think of a single policy he has supported that wasn't cruel or stupid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

He actually did something I agreed with but I can't remember what because he does so much evil it doesn't even matter

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

He's what happens when you're born rich, have white trash parents, and are surrounded by yes men leeches your whole life.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

No one has the guts to stop him

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

His handlers just hand him stuff to rubber-sign and like the good dumbass that he is, he just does so.
