Think again.

Actually, former president George W. Bush did that (through the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007). Trump, is his giddy desire to rollback anything Obama touched (Obama had issued two regulations under the EISA amendments), in 2019 said who needs to save money or energy?

From your link:

Still, the new rules were decades in the making, and reflect a bi-partisan undertaking. Energy efficiency standards were part of legislation approved during George W. Bush's presidency, and then picked up by the Obama administration.

The average American family will save $100 a year.

Oh, the humanity.
