two countries separated by a common energy efficiency regulatory practice

[eub]

Our freezer comes with a card that rates its electricity use, you know placing this model on a line that's the range for similar models. On one side the card is a U.S. ENERGYGUIDE, which says this is the most efficient freezer of them all. On the other side it's a Canadian ENERGUIDE, which says it's the least efficient. I guess Canada has higher standards.

Well, that or the US and Canada have different sizing brackets and this freezer falls at different ends of the two.

Alternately one of the data points could just be flat out wrong.

Or maybe Canada is a time-reversed country running on anti-energy! I should test my Canadian cokes to see if they are made of antimatter.

In this particular case further data on the card rules those out, but yes to them in the abstract.
