Bill 118 hjres 111, also known as the Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Furnaces," is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress.
The bill aims to reject a rule proposed by the Department of Energy that would establish new energy conservation standards for consumer furnaces. The Department of Energy's rule seeks to increase the energy efficiency of consumer furnaces in order to reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Supporters of the bill argue that the proposed rule would impose unnecessary costs on consumers and manufacturers, leading to higher prices for furnaces and potentially harming the economy. They also claim that the Department of Energy overstepped its authority in issuing the rule.
Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, believe that the new energy conservation standards are necessary to combat climate change and reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels. They argue that the benefits of increased energy efficiency outweigh any potential costs.
As of now, the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been voted on by Congress. It remains to be seen whether or not it will ultimately be passed into law.
