US White House Deleted 6,000 Energy Conservation Pages During a Record Heatwave
The Verge·Monday, 6 July 2026
The US Department of Energy deleted roughly 6,000 web pages related to energy conservation, reportedly following Republican backlash over a New York City mayor's advice to set air conditioners to 78 degrees during a historic heatwave. The deletions happened while extreme heat was hitting the country. Republican figures including Ted Cruz were among those who pushed back on the conservation messaging.
Why It Matters
Governments deleting public energy guidance during a heatwave is a stark example of how political tensions can clash with practical climate action — a debate very much alive in India too.
