Bush Tags CE Products as Energy 'Vampires'

Bush added that "the federal government will work hard to purchase and promote those energy savers (products) that use only one watt of energy as opposed to the average four or seven watts of energy."

"We must incorporate the new one-watt standard in the qualifications to earn the Energy Star as awarded by the Department of Energy and the EPA."

Bush said his administration would be working closely with the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program to promote Energy Star products across the country.
