#1 Just another example of the cancer of Euroism. The Beltway and EUcrats competing to see who can build the largest pile of paper or biggest PDF files on regulating every nit in existence.

#2 wow. I guess tenants aren't smart enough to request energy efficient machines without the heavy boot of gubbamint regulation. The trouble with these regulatory agency is that if they don't push this shit forward, they're accused by Donks and Whack lefties (one and the same, I know) of "doing nothing!"

#3 Well now.

I don't have a big problem with this. The DoE has been pushing energy-saving standards for lots of electrical appliances, from refrigerators to computers (e.g., Energy Star), for a few years now. It's likely done a fair bit of good. If vending machines are next up on the list, I don't have a problem with it.

I do hope the DoE recognizes the concept of "diminishing returns" ...

#4 I'd suggest that you google California Air Resources Board to see the "activist" bureaucracy in action, technology be damned. How much does a vending machine consume? How often do you see a POS old-time machine?
