Multiple outlets report that the U.S. Department of Energy removes thousands of web pages related to energy conservation during a historic heatwave. The Verge says the agency deletes roughly 6,000 pages, including content that offers guidance on reducing energy use during extreme heat. Reported topics include thermostat settings, water conservation, and insulation tips. Mashable characterizes the removals as a purge that leaves the public with limited official resources for energy-saving advice during the hot weather. The Times of India adds that the pages were pulled shortly after political backlash over a recommendation attributed to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to set air conditioning to 78 degrees to ease pressure on the power grid. According to these reports, the guidance has largely disappeared from the live web, with the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine cited as an alternative location where some of the information may still be accessible. The accounts describe the timing as notable, but they do not present official confirmation from the administration within the excerpts provided.
