#1 The mission of the DoE was to make America energy independent. It failed. It's been spending its time dictating a substandard of living for the people. Rip out the old Atomic Energy Commission and shut the rest down.

#7 If they make the standard twice as strict, we will conserve twice as much energy and save the planet even sooner.
Of course, twice as 'efficient' means you have to run the appliance 2 or 3 times as long to do the same job.
Sure, it seems pointless, but we have to do something!

#11 Like what they did with toilets and shower heads, and wanting to put a governor on your thermostat and utilities.

But no, they aren't coming after your appliances and trying to humiliate you, you conspiracy whackadoodle.
