I can't believe this bill is trying to mess with the energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and freezers. This is just going to lead to more waste and higher energy bills for everyone. It's ridiculous that they would even consider this. Who is going to benefit from this? Certainly not the environment or the average American consumer.

I fully support the decision to disapprove of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy regarding energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and freezers. How will this impact me in the short term?
