stuff snipped

AFAIK, the DOE doesn't outlaw appliances. They issue the Energy Star,
to help manufacturers market efficient devices. It helped bring down
water use from 16 gallons per load in 1994 to 6 gallons now.

We put a man on the moon and built an A-bomb but this "clean dishes with
less water" thing has us flummoxed. At least according the appliance
manufacturers interviewed for that Fox report.
