The White House said Donald Trump will “again the United States’ showers again” by relaxing rules that limit water flow.
The U.S. President is ordering the Energy Secretary to cancel changes introduced by Barack Obama, which limits snot showers and causes a total of 2.5 gallons of water to drain more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute.
The White House said it played a “radical green agenda that made Americans’ lives worse” as Trump criticized the “ridiculous” time he said he wanted to get his hair wet in the shower.
The Consumer and Protection Group had previously believed that changing the rules was wasteful and unnecessary.
According to the Equipment Standards Awareness Project, which shared a fact sheet in 2024, the U.S. set efficiency standards more than 30 years ago “reduce water waste…save money on water and energy bills for consumers and help protect the environment.”
Under the 1992 Energy Act, the United States does not allow the production of shower heads over 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) per minute.
Obama introduced a redefinition as part of the energy saving plan, which is used for showers with multiple nozzles, and the overall limitation of the limit is applied overall rather than for each nozzle.
At the end of Trump’s first semester, he moved in 2020, allowing each nozzle to produce up to 2.5 gallons per minute.
But when Joe Biden succeeded to the president, he stopped that.
The current administration calls their efforts a “water pressure war,” saying Americans “pay for their own water and should be free to choose to shower without federal intervention.”
Trump now wants to return to the “direct meaning” of the 1992 law’s ‘Showerhead’.
According to the White House fact sheet: “The order frees Americans from too many regulations, which turns basic household items into bureaucratic nightmare.
“The showers will no longer be weak and worthless.”
The order said the change will take effect 30 days after the Energy Secretary issues a notice to cancel the definition.
Trump said in a signing order at the Oval Office on Wednesday that he had to stand underwater for 15 minutes to get him wet with the “absurdity” – reverberating his comments in 2020.
then, He also complained that there was no shower water. Say his hair “must be perfect”.
