Hit by restructuring, the EPA is reportedly planning to end the Energy Star program, a project that has saved hundreds of billions of dollars for businesses and consumers

The EPA launched Energy Star in 1992 with the goal of tackling environmental protection and economic growth. It boosts the market for energy-efficient products and benefits companies that design appliances that earn the label. A home that decides to buy Energy Star products can save $450 annually on energy costs, the program’s website says.

The Trump administration has announced plans to eliminate the Energy Star program, a 33-year-old initiative that certifies energy-efficient appliances and products. KTLA's David Lazarus explains what this means for consumers.
