So? Commercial dishwashers already meet that standard. Yes, scaredy
cats, the restaurants you eat at wash their plates in machines using
less water than your dishwasher at home. And yet they and you have
survived the experience.

Plus, notice the word "proposal". Look up the definition. As the DOE
itself notes:

"Based on consideration of the public comments DOE receives in
response to this notice and related information collected and analyzed
during the course of this rulemaking effort, DOE may adopt energy
efficiency levels presented in this notice that are either higher or
lower than the proposed standards, or some combination of level(s)
that incorporate the proposed standards in part."

I know you fraidy cats just love to find more things to get yourselves
worked up over, but this is a long ways from being settled. Plus, your
Depression-era and earlier ancestors would like to smack you. They
were all about saving. They'd be ashamed that you treat wastefulness
as a virtue.
