maybe it uses the energy produced by a star
which is a LOT.
a secret federal investigation revealed that many products labeled with the energy star logo aren’t in fact energy efficient., “In a nine-month study, four fictitious companies invented by the accountability office also sought EnergyStar status for some conventional devices like dehumidifiers and heat pump models that existed only on paper. The fake companies submitted data indicating that the models consumed 20 percent less energy than even the most efficient ones on the market. Yet those applications were mostly approved without a challenge or even questions, the report said.”
for example, one such product, labeled an energy efficient air purifier was an electric heater with a feather duster affixed to the top–it received the stamp. the crack team at the government revealed that the automated system that hands out the stamps acts as an “initial screen” for products but they really only ’spot check’ certain items.
of course, the government says they’ll get right on this to make sure that the products that are certified energy star are indeed energy saving and good for the consumer and the environment. let’s just hope that when they hold the meeting to discuss the problem, some angry senator doesn’t designed to end the meeting because it happens after the sun goes down.
