Trump can't get shampoo, new shower heads proposed

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 13 - Donald Trump is unable to wash his hands or shampoo: last week, the American media reported, the tycoon complained that the water pressure is not enough, he said he couldn't wash his "beautiful hair" well and had announced that he had already changed the law. The government wasted no time: the Energy Department yesterday proposed to change the definition of the shower head to allow a greater flow of water.
    According to a 1992 law, shower heads in the United States cannot deliver more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute, or approximately 9.5 liters. Now the Trump administration wants this limit to no longer apply to the entire shower head, but to each nozzle.
    However, the Energy Department's proposal has already met with criticism from consumer groups and environmentalists, who view the idea as unnecessary waste. And according to some media, if it proceeds, the proposal could also be challenged in court.
    "You walk into a new house, you turn on the tap, the water doesn't come out," Trump complained last Thursday during a visit to a Whirlpool factory in Clyde, Ohio.
   "Open the shower and, if you're like me, you can't wash your beautiful hair well. You lose 20 minutes. Please go out - he continued referring to water -. The water is dripping, right? You know what I'm talking about, the limiters (diflusso, ed). I got rid of them, with a signature ", he had then made known.
    According to Andrew deLaski, director of the energy conservation group Appliance Standards AwarenessProject, this is a "silly" proposal: with four or five more nozzles, he explained, "you could have 10-15 gallons per minute coming out of the shower head. , enough power to sweep you out of the bathroom. " And then: "If the president needs help to find a good shower, we can direct him to some excellent sites for consumers that help find a good shower head ..." (ANSA).
