and therefore were getting these extremely efficient appliances. Sure, they're more efficient than previous models, but how much more efficient would they be if there were some standards in place.
I still maintain that if you let the consumer dictate the efficiency of appliances it will go nowhere, afterall, when I go to lowes.com and look for refrigerators, the only efficiency filter I get on the web site is Energy Star rated or not. Yet, I can filter by any color, any brand, any capacity, and any price. That tells me that efficiency isn't something that's sorted by very often.
