It will be interesting to see the outcome of the LG settlement and any future settlements. I'll be including this info when we discuss how we can "shrink" our energy use and how we need to keep vigilant and educated about these issues. On a more personal note, I have a feeling my refrigerator is on its last legs and we'll be shopping for one soon. We have purchased an LG energy star washer and dryer recently and I'll be thinking twice about buying another LG appliance.
