They're ending ones that weren't even in force yet.

The title definitely sounds like they're wholesale removing them.

The title is very deceptive.

The article title is: "Energy Department Acts to Lower Prices and Increase Consumer Choice with Household Appliances", which says nothing of substance.

The only part of the article that explained what was done states: "Today’s actions postpone the efficiency standards for the following home appliance rules:"

Would a title of "US energy department indefinitely postpones efficiency standards for home appliances" sound less deceptive to you?

I just want you to add the word "new". If you do that I'll happily unflag.
Thank you for doing this. Ever since the election there’s a concerted effort to exaggerate and mislead people. This site will go the way of Reddit unless people like you are paying attention and take action.
