Trump Administration to Shut Down Energy Star Program | JQJO

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the Energy Star program, a 30-year-old initiative saving homeowners an average of $450 annually on energy bills. The program, overseen by the EPA, provides energy consumption information for appliances and offers rebates and tax credits. Sources within the EPA confirm its closure, though the agency cites "organizational improvements." Critics highlight the program's significant cost savings, exceeding $500 billion over its lifetime, and argue its elimination will increase household energy expenses.
