Republican Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn has been mocked online over a video in which she attacked the Biden administration's proposal to make washing machines more efficient.
On Wednesday, Blackburn uploaded a video on Twitter speaking out against the Department of Energy's plans to ensure new washing machines use less water to help battle against climate change.
The DoE has said that changes to appliances such as clothes washers and refrigerators could save American consumers $3.5 billion per year on their energy and water bills.

Regardless...it doesn't make them more efficient. It makes them less efficient and more expensive.

The manufacturers say the changes will result in people having to run multiple cycles to get the same results as they had before from running the machine once...using more energy and water.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Plus the changes indetergent. We switched backto powder vers the pods. I kept having to clean my washer by taking ut the drum...after a while it just wore it out. I asked my appliance guy what the deal was. He asked me if we used pods, liquid, or powder. I said pods. He showed me a bag with some goo in it and is ased if that is what looked like what wa sin your washer...I said yep he said the pods are made with animal fat to gel them up...when you wash, the soap dissipates and then the animal fat dispenses out with the water and settles on the out side of the drum. Same iwth liquid detergents. The powder is straight soap and cleans better and goes out withthe water. We have had out washingmachine three years now and have not had one issue since we switched back. This new initiative is horse manure and Bidenneeds to focus on bigger things.

They should be mocking Joe Biden et al for being so ignorant for not focusing on what is really happening to the American people...people are struggling to put food on the table because of his rising costs, we have a border crisis with Fentanyl coming across at record rates, we are on the verge of a shooting war on two fronts, we are using up our strategic oil reserves and buying oil versus drilling on our own land...instead he is attacking gas stoves and washing machines...yep there is areal danger there alright!
These new machines will buse less water which means you willprobably have to use more loads to get things clean, different detergents that are based on animal fat to gel them up which leaves washers nasty that can't be cleaned (which is why we use powder) and probably not as well built.
