[Greenbuilding] FW: ENERGY STAR Clothes Dryers Program Launch

[Matt Dirksen]

How is a dryer any different than an air conditioner, a tv set, or a dish washer? 

I mean, really?

Imho, it's about friggin time they bring in clothes driers... Especially if it compels companies and consumers to create and buy more efficient ones.

I never understood why they didn't encourage them in the first place.

Academics have even studied the patterns of hanging laundry to learn how people handle just your concern - concealing the undies by strategic placement on the racks... If this is what's keeping us from overheating the planet we're in luck.
