In the latest salvo in the “showerhead war,” the Biden administration Friday said it will take steps to reinstate an Obama-era definition that restricts the flow of the device, something that former President Donald Trump loosened last year.
Trump’s rule sought to bypass a 2013 requirement that allowed no more than 2.5 gallons of water to flow through a showerhead per minute to save water and energy. Trump’s Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said dropping the requirement removed unneeded regulation and allowed the public to pick showerheads that best suited them.
The Energy Department said Friday it will hold a public meeting online and take additional steps to end the effort to circumvent the 2013 rule.
The department said it has tentatively reinstated the showerhead definition that “all showerheads within a product containing multiple showerheads will be considered part of a single showerhead for determining compliance with the 2.5 gallons per minute standard.”
The showerhead rules had been ridiculed by Trump and became part of his campaign against regulations during his presidency.
“So, showerheads — you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out,” Trump said last year, according to CNN. “You wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out. So what do you do? You just stand there longer, or you take a shower longer? Because my hair — I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect.”

Absolutely—and simply and solely because Trump did it—a pure personal vendetta. But you can’t reason with a fool.
Nor someone evil to the core..
Where in the Constitution does it give the Federal government the authority to tell us what shower head we can use?
That is why God created electric drills.to drill out the plastic inhibitors. I had all 4 of mine free flowing in about 5 minutes to bask under a real shower, not just another Biden Tinkle. I doubt they lowered the WHitehouse pool level when Joe went skinny dipping, but maybe they did and all his problems started when the shallow candidate dove into the shallow end head first.
THat’s something i have been wondering.. YOU DON’T see folks being ordered to STOP HAVING swimming pools out in CA, SO WHY LIMIT showers!
SINCE WHEN have they cared what the constitution says?? THEY DO IT ANYWAY, and wait to see if someone challenges them on it… THEN THEY bully, badger, or otherwise push the court system to TOSS any lawsuit we may make to challenge them on the basis “WE have no standing to do so”..
Remember, especially you ranchers and farmers what BHO czars did. Prosecute people when they allowed rain water to enter their ponds or small lakes on the property they own. the rain belongs to everybody. I wonder if that idiot regulation is back?
Knowing these buttheads in charge, YEA it more than likely IS back in full swing.
No doubt the same person came up with this as toilets using 1/3 less water per flush that needed to be flushe twice to work to actually is 1/3 MORE water! That was a laugher just like the shower head.
WE ARE NOT FREE.
we are subjects beholden to big government.
we own nothing dont believe me then do not pay your property taxes and see what happens.
the governments at every level confiscate our hard earned money for blacks.hispanic and white trash on the government plantation in america.
they waste money like drunks in a strip club.
Don’t forget to wash your hands multiple times a day for however long it takes you to sing Happy Birthday each time so you don’t spread Covid Cooties to your friends and family.
EWWW>. HE HAS THE cooties…
Run away!
🙂 🙂
Did Trump have a policy preventing sniffing little girls hair or bicycle seats? He must have–Biden seems to have revoked that order by his repetitive and aggressive practice of those actions.
BIDENS been doing that for decades.. NO LAW or EO will change it.
