My dishwasher is so efficient now, I need to run it twice sometimes to get clean dishes.

My new step in unloading the dishwasher is to check what needs to be put back in for another wash cycle. And that's even with adding a little sprinkle of TSP to the detergent.

The administration says the standards will not only help the planet but also stimulate the economy by saving consumers money on their energy bills that they can spend elsewhere.

One problem is that if everyone reduces their electricity usage, the local utility will run off crying that their profits are down and get to raise their rates so I pay the same amount for less electricity.

That works so well here with water usage the utility has to raise fees due to the less usage of water.
