拜登政府对家用热水器采用了更严格的能源效率标准，这是旨在减少炉灶、洗碗机和灯泡等常用电器能耗的改革措施的一部分。 The Biden administration has adopted stricter energy efficiency standards for residential water heaters, as part of changes designed to reduce energy consumption in common appliances, including stoves, dishwashers, and lightbulbs. 美国能源部的新标准预计将在30年内为美国家庭和企业节省近1万亿美元，并减少温室气体排放，相当于从道路上减少1800万辆燃气汽车。 The Department of Energy's new standards are expected to save American households and businesses almost $1 trillion over 30 years, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of removing 18 million gas-burning vehicles from the road. 然而，这些变化遭到共和党议员的批评，他们认为家用电器可能会在短期内变得更加昂贵。 However, the changes have faced criticism from Republican lawmakers, who argue that appliances could become more expensive in the short term.
