The Consumer Products Energy Efficiency Amendments of 1985 would increase consumer information about household appliances by requiring that manufacturers and retailers provide this information on their labels and in their advertising. The findings which led to the legislation were that additional generating capacity will be needed in the next 20 years to provide the 30% increase in energy demand from consumer appliances, while the technology for efficiency improvements is already available. The bill also prescribes efficiency standards for each class of appliance, promotes domestic production of appliances to relieve unemployment, and requests a detailed report on the nature and extent of the imported appliance market. The assumption is that an efficiency standard together with adequate public education will improve overall efficiency on the average.
