Energy efficiency rollbacks could cost Americans $43 billion in higher utility bills, analysis finds.

The Department of Energy recently announced that it plans to rollback dozens of policies in what it called its “largest deregulatory effort in history” The department claims that getting rid of “burdensome and costly” rules would save $11 billion .

That doesn't take into account the costs Americans would bear if they have to use more energy-hungry appliances.
