Channel 5 was in the store, and did an expose on EnergyStar(TV does add 10-15 pounds, have a look below). First I like EnergyStar. They have created awareness to saving money through lower energy costs:
Here is a plan for improvement in my opinion
1. Standards should be a moving target. Products should continue to improve efficiency to be called EnergyStar
2. Manufacturers should publish regional costs
3. The products should be tested at full operating power
4. No legacy products allowed. In other words, products should not be EnergyStar simply because they have improved over last year
Cut and paste...
