... yet the government has NO idea of what it is to be efficient...
They had a decent idea for a bit with refrigerators, there were improvements during the 80's, maybe through the 90's, but mandatory standards kept getting tighter and now a $1,000 or more refrigerator is lucky to live five years, not economical to fix, but you save two bucks a year on electricity! Same could be said for lots of appliances. I know the few appliances I've bought new at the local appliance dealer, they said don't touch the energy star rated, they have worse reliability, that's all I needed to hear. |
