The EPA is backing down from plans to eliminate Energy Star — the program behind those familiar blue labels that help families choose energy-efficient appliances.
Earlier this year, Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to scrap Energy Star entirely. But after SEEC Members, environmental advocates, and industry leaders raised the alarm, the agency quietly renewed contracts to keep the program running.
This is a reminder that public pressure and Congressional oversight can protect climate progress.
But we can’t stop here. The same officials who tried to kill Energy Star are looking for ways to undermine clean energy and climate programs across the government.
