In the most recent hearing of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) repeatedly questioned Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on her department\u2019s targeting of the most basic home appliances, which will render them more expensive and less available to Americans in every part of this country.<\/p>\n

Following Granholm\u2019s assurance that the DOE\u2019s proposed rules merely \u201craise efficiency standards\u201d and don\u2019t eliminate any products, Rep. Issa stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your efficiency requests exceed the current technology, then they go away.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to Secretary Granholm\u2019s assertation that DOE\u2019s proposed rules will increase efficiency and reduce cost to operate these appliances, Rep. Issa responded,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t always reduce cost, as you know. Many products actually cost more to operate because of the technical nature of them, so you save money on energy, but you spend money on maintenance and capital cost.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch Rep. Issa\u2019s full questioning\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
