In my view, an appliance that saves a few dollars per year on energy but doesn't work as well is being penny wise and pound foolish.
As I see it, the RFS was enacted largely for three reasons--to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and to strengthen rural economies.
According to the administration, DOE has 15 more home appliance standards in the regulatory pipeline, including ones for computers, light bulbs, air conditioners, ovens, furnaces, battery chargers, dishwashers, and ceiling fans.
The RFS was also supposed to provide a means for significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but a growing number of scientists and environmental advocates are saying otherwise.
