肯尼迪与客座主持人凯斯·史密斯揭露欧洲致命热浪成因：欧洲对空调的排斥。此外，索菲·坎宁安批评WNBA针对凯特琳·克拉克的行为、戴夫·波特诺伊的新书等更多内容。
特朗普政府即将全面 overhaul（全面改革）联邦家电能效规定，官员称此举将终结“绿色新骗局”式的家电强制要求、恢复消费者选择权，并阻止未来联邦政府对燃气灶、荧光灯泡、暖通空调系统及其他家用家电的管制。
“在美国，你应该能够选择需要多次循环才能烘干衣物的烘干机，或是一次就能烘干的机型——不幸的是，往届政府并非这么想，”美国能源部长克里斯·赖特对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
美国能源部预计将提出全面修订联邦家电监管规定的提案，改写能效标准的制定方式，用特朗普政府的话说，此举将永久防范未来管制家用家电的企图。福克斯新闻数字频道提前获悉了该提案内容。

“长期以来，美国民众为限制消费者选择权、推高成本的强制规定付出了代价。特朗普总统承诺终结这种荒谬行为，而我们现在正是这么做的。这项拟议规则将保留美国民众选择真正好用、且负担得起的家用家电和设备的权利。这就是所谓的常识性政策。”
官员们表示，往届奥巴马和拜登政府将《能源政策与节能法案》（EPCA）的标准解读为要求不断收紧能效规定，导致部分家电价格上涨或功能缩水。
拜登政府在2021年和2024年修改了规定，将特朗普政府2020年出台的规则改为非强制性，并移除了多项条款，包括重要的节能阈值和其他程序要求。

该提案在正式生效前将开放30天的公众意见征集期。此时正值美国和欧洲遭遇大规模热浪侵袭。
巴黎副市长奥黛丽·普尔瓦尔近日发表声明，将法国遭遇的致命热浪归咎于美国，称问题在于气候变化——而非欧洲缺乏空调。
“亲爱的美国记者和社交媒体‘网红’：几天来，你们当中有些人一直在批评和嘲笑巴黎，因为巴黎并非每个房间都装了空调。我的天，这太可笑了！”她在Instagram上写道。

根据美国能源信息署的数据，由于监管限制，法国仅有20%的家庭拥有空调，而美国这一比例为88%。

她补充道：“作为全球第二大温室气体排放国，你方应为全球变暖及我们法国正在经历的后果承担重大责任。你方城市‘90%都装了空调’与此并非毫无关联。在巴黎，我们勇于承担责任。”

Trump admin axes ‘Green New Scam’ appliance rules as Europe bakes in brutal heat

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says past mandates drove up consumer costs and left households with appliances that didn’t work

The Trump administration is set to unveil a sweeping overhaul of federal appliance efficiency rules that officials say will end “Green New Scam” appliance mandates, restore consumer choice, and block future federal crackdowns on gas stoves, fluorescent lightbulbs, HVAC systems, and other household appliances.
“In America, you should be able to choose between a drying machine that takes multiple cycles to dry your clothes and one that does it on the first try — unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Energy is expected to propose a sweeping rewrite of federal appliance regulations that would change how energy-efficiency standards are written, creating what the Trump administration says is a permanent safeguard against future efforts to regulate household appliances. The proposal was viewed by Fox News Digital.

“For too long, the American people paid the price for mandates that restricted consumer choice and drove up costs. President Trump promised to end this nonsense and that is exactly what we are doing. This proposed rule will preserve the American people’s ability to choose home appliances and equipment that actually work — at prices they can afford. It’s called commonsense.”
Officials said previous Obama and Biden administrations interpreted Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) standards as requiring increasingly stringent efficiency standards that made some appliances more expensive or less functional.
Biden-era changes in 2021 and 2024 that loosened the Trump administration’s 2020 rules by making the procedures non-binding and removing several provisions, including a significant energy savings threshold and other procedural requirements.

The proposal is open for public comment for 30 days before being made an official rule. It comes as the U.S. and Europe face a major heat wave.
Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar recently released a statement blaming the United States for the deadly heat wave over France by saying the issue is climate change – not the lack of air conditioning in Europe.
“Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room. OMG, this is so rich!” she wrote on Instagram.

Due to regulations, only 20% of households have air conditioning compared to 88% in the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

She added, “As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities ‘90% air-conditioned’ are not unrelated to this. In Paris, we take responsibility.”
