Energy Star Appliances May Not All Be Efficient, Audit Finds

The energy deparment has finished there audit and they found that some manufactures that put the energy star label on there products may not have meet the requirments for it. This means that companies are falsly putting the labels on there products. People have been buying the energy star products to save money and they will now figure out that they may have not of been saving any money at all. In 2007 the government said that they would do a check to make sure that everyting with the sticker was truely diserving of it. Now there is a new thing out that will find the best 5 percent of the energy star products.
I think that it is bad that companies are lying to make it so that more people will buy there products. The govenrment should do checks on this to make sure that businesses will not be able to pull this off.
