Every step of this has been a fight against more conservative elements. I somewhat understand the LED light battles, since early versions were expensive and poor quality, but even things like increased efficiency standards and “EnergyStar” have always been a battle. Why wouldn’t you choose the appliance that works just like the old one but a little more efficiently? More importantly, why would you get upset that someone else chooses that?

Ted Cruz lashed out at Xbox for adding a power saving mode option.

I think the biggest gripe with appliances are that they don't last like they used to and it costs about the same to replace as to repair often times, not that they are more efficient.

Which is why conservatives are fighting for right to repair and regulation against planned obsolescence, right? Right?

LOL! There must be a limit to the faces that will be eaten by the Leopards Eating Faces Party. And my face is past that limit, I just know it when I hear the leopards talk about eating those other faces.
