(no title)

> The title of the submission is nowhere in line with what the linked page even talks about. Flagging for our right lying. All the press release mentions is that they are not moving forward on new standards that Biden was pushing for while he was in office. Existing energy efficiency standards for appliances are still in effect.

This is a very odd take. The title is based on the only part of the article that isn't PR fluff and describes what was done:

> Today’s actions postpone the efficiency standards for the following home appliance rules:

    Central Air Conditioners
    Clothes Washers and Dryers
    General Service Lamps
    Walk-In Coolers and Freezers
    Gas Instantaneous Water Heaters
    Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
    Air Compressors

If the title said "cancelling new appliance efficiency standards" it would be fine.

You wrote "ending appliance efficiency standards". That is a bad title.

I can't change the title, but if it's worth changing, someone will do it or it will just be resubmitted.

I think "new" would make sense and I accidentally conflated them also writing about the EPA rolling back *existing* standards for other appliances in this article.
