Attorney General James Takes Action to Support Repeal of Trump-Era Energy Efficiency Rollbacks
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James, leading a coalition of 12 attorneys general and the City of New York, today filed a petition for review to support the Biden administration’s efforts to restore key elements of the federal energy efficiency program that were rolled back in the waning days of the previous administration. The coalition’s challenge seeks to support the repeal of two “midnight” rules issued by the Trump administration that undermine strong national energy conservation standards for residential gas furnaces and commercial gas water heaters standards that the federal government itself projects will dramatically cut climate change pollution and save consumers tens of billions of dollars.
