Nine members of the US Congress wrote to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson a letter urging EPA to stop its "continuous conflict" with the US Department of Energy (DOE) - about the energy of residential solid-state lighting products Star standard.
The letter, excerpted below, requires Jackson to revoke the EPA's SSL Energy Star standard as soon as possible.
The US Congress has issued a statement, so we will wait and see how the EPA will be and how to respond.
The letter from the US Congress to the EPA is as follows:
"We wrote this letter to urge you to quickly resolve the conflict with the US Department of Energy. The ENERGY STAR standard for residential solid-state lighting (SSL) products is often "LED lighting" and the EPA's SSL Energy Star is withdrawn as soon as possible. standard.
We recognize and appreciate EPA's long-term leadership in the ENERGY STAR program, and we believe that the EPA's SSL Energy Star standards are designed to match the ENERGY Star mission. However, the current situation is that the two federal agencies have published their own ENERGY STAR standards, which is not valid. Overlapping ENERGY STAR standards can create uncertainty in the industry, and the confusion is threatening the US leadership in this growing industry. If the two ENERGY STAR standards continue, it will weaken energy. The integrity of the star brand.
The future of the solid state lighting industry is very promising. In 2006, the market for high-brightness LED lighting reached $205 million, and by 2011 it is expected to grow to approximately $1 billion. Currently, the United States has a dominant position in this industry. Because ENERGY STAR certification is an important step in any commercial new energy-saving technology, in the end, there must be an organization to take the lead in order to avoid weakening the key role played by the SSL industry in its development.
We have come to the conclusion that the DOE should manage the SSL ENERGY STAR program in accordance with Section 912(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and invest in the SSL industry.
EPA and the ENERGY STAR program play an invaluable role in making more energy-efficient products in the United States, and continue to play an important role in national efforts to achieve energy independence, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and create good jobs for Americans. opportunity. To maintain the overall benefits of the ENERGY STAR brand and to support US leadership in the solid state lighting industry, we urge you to comply with DOE's SSL Energy Star standards. "
