One of the more galling things about the Energy Star disaster is that you know full well that the DC clymers who came up with those regs have their clothes cleaned at laundries and eat at restaurants with dishes cleaned using non-Energy Star appliances.
The list goes on and on. Whenever the government steps in, mediocrity follows. I have been an aviation enthusiast since I was old enough to climb up on the roof and jump off. We have lived on a small airport for the last 25 years. I truly believe that without the FAA’s assistance, flying cars would have been the preferred mode of transportation in outlying areas for the at least the last 10 years.
