Donald Trump will “make the American showers large again” by tearing the rules restricting the flow of water, says the White House.
The American president orders the energy secretary to cancel a change introduced by Barack Obama who prevented the multiple showers of the discharge of more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute overall.
It served “a radical green agenda that has aggravated the life of the Americans,” said the White House, while Trump criticized the “ridiculous” time that he says he takes to wet his hair in the shower.
Consumer and conservation groups previously argued that the change in rules is useless and useless.
According to the device to raise awareness of the standards of the device, which shared an information sheet in 2024, standards of efficiency in the United States established more than three decades ago “reduce water waste … Save money on their water and energy bills and help protect the environment”.
Under an energy law of 1992, shower potatoes in the United States are not allowed to produce more than 2.5 gallons (9.5 l) of water per minute.
Obama introduced a redefinition, as part of an energy conservation program, which meant the showers with several nozzles, the restriction applied overall rather than each nozzle.
At the end of Trump’s first term in 2020, he moved to allow each nozzle to produce up to 2.5 gallons per minute.
But when Joe Biden succeeded him as president, he stopped this.
The current administration has nicknamed its efforts to “war the water pressure”, saying that Americans “pay for their own water and should be free to choose their shower heads without federal interference”.
Trump now wants to return to the “simple meaning” of the “shower head” of the 1992 law.
According to the Information sheet of the White House: “The order releases from Americans to excessive regulations which have transformed a basic article into a bureaucratic nightmare.
“The showers will not be lower and worthless.”
The order indicates that the change comes into force 30 days after the Energy Secretary publishes an opinion canceling the definition.
Wednesday, by signing the order in the oval office, Trump said that it was “ridiculous” that he must stand underwater for 15 minutes so that his “beautiful” hair gets wet – echoing the remarks he made in 2020.
At that time, He also complained of the water that did not come out of shower potatoes, To say your hair “must be perfect”.
