> How many non-Energy-Star appliances do you see at Home Depot and Wal Mart?
I just did a search for dishwashers on Home Depot's site.
166 dishwashers are Energy Star certified out of 310.
Of standard-size only dishwashers, 136 out of 241 carry the Energy Star certification.
That's a not insignificant portion of the dishwasher market that has not done this thing that you put in scare-quotes as "voluntary" and are still carried at the number two reseller of major appliances in the US. Walmart is not a significant reseller of dishwashers.
At Lowes (the number one reseller), 396 out of 539 built-in dishwashers carried the Energy Star certification.
