The author defends his position that mandating energy efficiency standards on appliances may result in an upward demand pressure if the energy use reduction is overestimated. He argues that Besen and Johnson fail to produce evidence to support their criticisms or their theory that an increase in initial cost will accompany mandated efficiency. 2 figures. (DCK)
