Great article – takes you though every room in the house, and how this Administration is raising our costs of living all in the name of often-times contradictory energy savings: How does reduced energy per wash cycle save anything if you have to run more cycles to get your clothes clean:
Here's the opening. Read the entire article.
The Obama administration isn't satisfied giving the American people several big things we don't want — the stimulus package, expanded bailouts, Obamacare — but it is also hitting us with a multitude of bothersome regulations. Perhaps most annoying of all is Washington's attempt to redesign home appliances. Just weeks after taking office, the president announced an accelerated process to create stringent new energy efficiency standards for nearly everything around the house that uses energy. The Department of Energy is well on its way towards accomplishing this goal, boasting of more than 20 such regulations since President Obama came to office.
If past experience is any guide, these regulations will raise the purchase price of appliances — in some cases more than is ever likely to be earned back in the form of energy savings. Worse, several may adversely impact product performance and reliability. There are potentially problematic regulations on the way for virtually every room in the house.
