[quote]Pretty easy to answer. The epa is a waste of money.[/quote]How is the Energy Star program a waste of money? [quote] The EPA claims that Energy Star has lowered consumers’ electricity bills by $430 billion (contrast this with the annual administrative cost of the program of about $57 million). This lower energy consumption has prevented 2.7 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.[/quote] For the cost of $57m, they have put $430bn back into the pockets of Americans.
