Let’s talk about energy saving in everyday appliances. 

Your clothes dryer is, not only, a significant energy user in the average home, but it is also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.  Energy efficiency standards for clothes dryers have been slow-walked because manufacturers generally offset the higher cost of increasingly more efficient clothes washers with the low cost of clothes dryers because these two items are most commonly purchased together in pairs.  Therefore, the industry has made efforts to keep clothes dryer costs down.
