    So how does the EPA judge energy efficiency? There's a clue for those who read below the fold: "In 2010, workers at the Government Accountability Office posed as product developers and got the Energy Star label for fictitious products."

... which is why they've required third parties to do the testing since 2011.

Indeed, as was mentioned in the article you posted.

I don't know what more one could want out of a government program.
