President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to dismantle much of President Joe Biden’s climate legacy — but there’s one set of environmental policies that will be hard to reverse.

Over the past four years, the Biden administration has set new energy efficiency standards for two dozen appliances, from air conditioners to microwaves. The rules would require companies to find ways to make dishwashers, dryers and other new appliances use less energy — for example, by adding better insulation or using more advanced parts.
