Energy Star Rating Controversy

ConsumerReports.org has an article that raises issues with the Energy Star Rating system.  The EPA responded to their article, then ConsumerReports.org posted a response.

Our take is that it is great that more products become Energy Star Certified. It shows that industry cares and is moving in the right direction.  As with any standard, it needs to be updated regularly to address changing conditions, something the EPA is slow to do.
