President George W. Bush on the efficeient use of technology: “And we’re very aggressive about promoting energy star. I’m a strong supporter of the program, because there are millions of Americans who want to make the right choices, who want to help this nation become less dependent on foreign sources of crude oil, who want this nation to be a nation that has a reliable energy source, and who want to do their part when it comes to purchasing in the marketplace. And energy star is a great way for the federal government to enter into a partnership with consumer product producers, that says, this is the latest, this is the best. And so the Secretary of Energy and the Director of — Administration of the EPA and my office will work to promote Energy Star all across the country.”
