Just wait until they disconnect your gas furnace

Glenn Reynolds answers this commentator’s question:

BECAUSE THE GREENS HATE YOU AND WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE WORSE: Why Does My ‘Efficient’ Dishwasher Take a Zillion Minutes for a Load?

For months, Donna King experimented with the various settings of her washing machine, trying to get her clothes to stop coming out covered in detergent residue. In the era of tightening water and energy standards, King thinks the machine just doesn’t use enough water, with clothes emerging nearly dry to the touch.

She regularly runs her T-shirts through the machine a second time. The hairstylist in Oak Ridge, Tenn., sometimes brings laundry loads into work to use the heavy duty setup there.
“I’m all for saving the environment but this ain’t the way to do it, if you got to do something two or three times,” the 59-year-old said. “The standard is great on paper, but when it comes to practical and real life situations, it’s a bunch of s—.”

Indeed it is.

Plus: “The average standard cycle time for a dishwasher has increased from around 70 minutes in 1983 to 160 minutes this year.”
