The EPA's Energy Star program has been, for consumers, a raging success. A label, right there on each of the displayed home appliances in a store, tells you flat-out how much electricity your latest purchase is going to use and what it's going to cost you; if you want a version that costs less, you can easily find a brand that's more energy-efficient and go from there. If the program didn't exist, such comparisons would be impossible.



So of course Team Trump wants to murder the thing.


And of course there's a link to his own businesses involved here, because the program also includes voluntary scoring of commercial real estate buildings. 







Guess what?






Trump's properties tend to receive low Energy Star ratings. The most recent scores from 2015 reveal that 11 of his 15 skyscrapers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco are less energy efficient than most comparable buildings. 


Trump wants to kill the program because Trump profits.

Trump, fascist con man.
