By setting appliance efficiency standards in Pennsylvania, we can get rid of energy hogs.
Old appliances hog energy and hurt the environment. 11/16/2022By State Reps. Jennifer O’Mara and Tom Mehaffie; State Sen. Lindsey Williams and Flora Cardoni
While not the most glamorous of issues, appliance efficiency standards can make a big dent in our utility bills by helping reduce energy burdens on our households. The benefits of implementing such standards in Pennsylvania are staggering: it’s estimated that these standards would cut global pollution in the state by 256,000 tons each year, ensuring that we’re doing our part to tackle climate change. At the same time, we would also be reducing harmful air pollution that triggers asthma and other respiratory ailments by almost 300 tons a year.
The best part is that energy efficient appliances are a simple, easy, and time-tested way to reap incredible benefits for our wallets and for the planet. That’s because the list of identified appliances are already commonly bought and sold by consumers in stores and online everyday, often at the same price as less efficient, energy-guzzling appliances.
