Barack Obama: Nobody Has Noticed that Appliances Ran Better Because of Our Energy Efficiency Rules

‘You know, your fridge runs a little bit better, or your washer-dryer’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "Here’s a good one. Appliances. You didn’t think about this much — "
COLBERT: "I did not."
OBAMA: " — over the course of my presidency because of new rules for energy-efficient appliances, taking millions of metric tons of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, the equivalent of taking 20 million automobiles off the road annually, because, you know, your fridge runs a little bit better, or your washer-dryer. And I would include, by the way, preparations on things like pandemic, if you were actually paying attention to it. You know, that’s the kind of stuff that if you’re doing it right, people don’t notice. But if you screw up, then it’s bad."
