Trump Issues Executive Order on Showerheads Amidst Economic Turmoil
President Trump signed an executive order to increase water flow in showerheads, reversing an Obama-era regulation that limited multi-nozzle showerheads to a combined 2.5 gallons per minute. This action aims to repeal what the White House calls a “radical green agenda,” allowing for higher water flow per nozzle as originally intended in a 1992 energy law. The order claims to free Americans from excessive regulation and restore stronger water pressure, a move opposed by consumer and conservation groups citing concerns about waste and environmental impact. The change will take effect 30 days after the energy secretary publishes a notice.
