The Trump administration just announced plans to eliminate the long-standing Energy Star program. This was started in 1992 and helps consumers purchase energy-efficient appliances.
It has helped Americans save more than $500 billion since 1992.
As a Yuro, the only time I think I used to see this was on older American Megatrends BIOS POST screens.
I take it it’s similar/the same as the energy efficiency ratings by the EU?
Do manufacturers provide those same ratings when selling in the US? More like, they supply both to both regions when selling a product (easier than removing 1)? Just thinking of alternatives.

There is a similar sticker but issued by Energy Star instead.
I’d say it’s more specific than your example. It’s less about “let’s save the planet” and more about “keeping your bills lower”.
