I'm all for getting rid of that ridiculous rule about commercial fridges and freezers. Who needs all that energy conservation nonsense anyway? Let's keep things simple and just let businesses do their thing without all this government interference. Can't wait to see how this change will benefit me in the long run!

I don't get why they're trying to change the energy standards for fridges and freezers.

This bill is so stupid, it's gonna make my fridge cost more money to run! Why are they messing with this stuff? Like, who even cares about energy efficiency for refrigerators? It's just gonna make everything more expensive for us regular folks. Can someone explain why they think this is a good idea? #confused

I don't like this new rule about refrigerators and freezers. It's not fair to us regular folks who just want to keep our food cold. Why do they have to make things so complicated? I don't think it's right. #NotHappy

I was reading about HJRES Bill 75 and how it relates to energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers. It seems like a positive step towards promoting energy efficiency in these appliances. I'm curious to see how this will impact energy consumption and costs in the long run.
