"Now Biden Wants to Deny Your Consumer�s Choice in Water Heaters"

<https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4182206/posts>
"President Joe Biden�s proposed energy efficiency standards for water
heaters, released July 21 by the Energy Department, not only would raise
the cost of water heaters for consumers but take certain products off the
market.

One popular tankless natural gas water heater, made by Rinnai in Griffin,
Georgia, would have to be discontinued. The public has until Sept. 26 to
file comments.

Beginning in 2029, the Energy Department�s proposed regulation would set
government standards for all types of water heaters, including gas-fired,
oil-fired, electric, and instantaneous tankless water heaters.

The proposed rule would raise standards disproportionately for tankless,
gas-fired water heaters to over 91% efficiency. Trouble is, achieving
this level of efficiency with noncondensing technology is impossible to
do.

This change would deprive Americans of a valuable option when it comes to
water heaters. Consumers could purchase electric tankless water heaters,
but not the less expensive models heated with natural gas.

Rinnai, whose products are used all over the world, is headquartered in
Nagoya, Japan. It set up production in Georgia in 2001 and directly
employs around 350 in a factory there, benefiting local restaurants and
small businesses.

Rinnai is the only company that produces tankless water heaters in the
United States. Its noncondensing natural gas water heater sells for about
$1,100 at Home Depot, compared to $1,800 for a 75-gallon tank.

The Energy Department�s proposed efficiency standard essentially would
ban noncondensing, gas-fired, tankless water heaters because the
technology of heating water with gas reaches its efficiency limit without
using more expensive �condensing� technology.

Although noncondensing, gas-fired, tankless water heaters are more
efficient than water heaters with tanks, the latter aren�t subject to the
same standard.

It's just another method of controlling the people. The lock downs and masking were nothing more
than a dry run to see what the elite could get away with. And the sheep lined up.

Some years ago, the government took away consumers' choice to buy leaded
gasoline, too. You got over it.

Nope.. still have to add lead additives to the gasoline for certain engines
otherwise they will have excessive wear to the valve seats.
