Why doesn't the idiot moron simply ask everyone to keep their thermostat a little lower this Winter?

Probably because these rules wouldn't go in to effect until 2028.
Which you would know if you actually read the article.

Not correct, Biden supporters don't pay for heat.
Or food, or rent, or even medical bills.
If this liberal is still alive, she will vote for Biden again, even though her energy bills are through the roof.

“The new standards will also require only a small portion of models to make modest improvements to their energy efficiency to match the level of efficiency already demonstrated by the majority of the market today,” the agency said in its January press release announcing the rule. “For example, approximately 97 percent of gas stove models and 77 percent of smooth electric stove models on the market already meet these standards.”
Nearly 70% of respondents opposed policies that would essentially ban gas stoves, according to a June 2023 Harvard CAPS Harris poll. More than 80% of Republican respondents and 71% of independents were opposed to policies that would induce a gas stove ban, as were 55% of surveyed Democrats.
Beyond stoves, the DOE has also pushed energy efficiency rules for everyday items like water heaters, furnaces and pool pump motors. The Biden administration has also spent hundreds of millions of dollars to assist state and municipal governments in developing building codes intended to “decarbonize” buildings.
