Mr. Bean investigates Trump's efforts to roll back energy-efficiency regulations, questioning if this is a case of 'If you don't succeed, try, try, try again!' or just plain silly.

The Terrible Toilet Trouble!

Right then! I read in newspaper about Mr. Trump yes the one with the funny hair not Teddy! apparently he's been having a right old grumble about things like dishwashers and… wait for it… toilets! He says they're not as good as they used to be. Honestly! It's like when I tried to paint my flat with fireworks – a complete disaster! And now he's making a fuss about it all. Honestly some people are more worried about toilets that Teddy falling asleep.

Executive Orders and Endless Paperwork

Now Mr. Trump has gone and signed something called an "executive order." Sounds important doesn't it? A bit like when I tried to direct traffic with my head in a bucket. It didn't go well. This order is about energy rules for appliances which means someone had to get out his favorite pen and write some notes. I got a headache just thinking about it!

The Mystery of the Missing Water Pressure

Hold on to your hats! There's also a "memorandum" about "Useless Water Pressure Standards." Useless?! I once tried to wash my car with a fire hose. That was definitely NOT useless! But I flooded the whole street. Apparently they were trying to get rid of some rules on water pressure.

Bye Bye Blue Stickers!

And get this! They're even thinking about getting rid of those blue Energy Star stickers on appliances. You know the ones that tell you how much electricity something uses. It's like taking away my instructions to make sandwiches. Next thing you know you are making a sandwich with your head over the bread. The Environmental Protection Agency is thinking of throwing them away! What next?

Energy Bills and Electric Shocks

If these rules go away the man in the newspaper says things could get a bit shocking. Like touching a live wire but with your wallet! We might end up with appliances that use loads more electricity. That means bigger bills! And nobody wants that. I certainly do not want that. Especially after the last time I forgot to pay my electricity bill. It was a terrible mistake! I can tell you that.

Will It All Work Out?

So what will happen? Well it seems like some people are not happy with Mr. Trump's ideas. They might even take him to court! I once tried to take a sausage to court but that's another story. This story is just getting too complex and I need to go sit down drink tea and think about something more important like how to make a sandwich with my eyes closed. That's for my next news article. Until then goodbye!
