The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), accusing the agency of illegally limiting the use of water in dishwashers and clothes washers.
The lawsuit was filed June 13 on behalf of two plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. It accused the DOE of going “beyond its statutory authority” by imposing water efficiency rules on dishwashers and washing machines “without lawful authority.”
