Brief Summary:
Obama's administration has proposed energy efficiency standards for home water heaters. The standards don't take advantage of the advanced technology where the large savings are, leaving environmentalists with a hesitant reaction.

Short Response:
Regardless of what environmentalists think, the standards seem to be very helpful because they save consumers over $15 billion over a 30 year time span. They also prevent emissions of 154 tons of carbon dioxide.
