Yeah, and you know . . . there is a tremendous amount of BS and hype with that deal when in comes to efficiency ratings. Many of these new appliances save very little energy as compared to some made 10-20 years ago. I've tested many and was both surprised and very disappointed. Especially with refrigerators and freezers. I replaced a 1948 International Harvester freezer with a new "Energy Star" rated unit, and saved just about nothing in energy use.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
