Consumer Federation of America submitted comments to the Department of Energy in response to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding clothes washers.

Consumers, and particularly low-income consumers, should no longer be subject to higher electric bills because out-of-date, less efficient technologies continue to be made available in the marketplace.
