I mean.....this does seem like an extreme overreach by adding this into energy saving rules. I 100% support right to repair, but congress needs to get off its ass and act, because gov orgs getting "creative" to effectively shoehorn in legislation is going to keep (rightfully) getting slapped down by the court over and over.

They're talking about expanding energy saving rules, to environmental impact. It makes sense to me, you buy a fridge with a refrigerant that's bad for the environment. That would be good to know on the label. Same thing for environmental impact of the product, if it's not repairable. Impact is larger.
