- Why did energy-saving tips disappear from the Energy Department website?
The Department of Energy removed over 1,600 pages from its Energy Saver website by July 3, including resources on home energy assessments and thermostat guidance. The purge coincided with a proposed rule to restrict future energy efficiency standards for appliances, labeled as ending 'Green New Scam' mandates. The deletion occurred amid public debate over energy conservation advice during a heatwave, with critics suggesting the removal was politically motivated.
