The Trump administration is reportedly planning to shut down Energy Star, the 33-year-old program that helps consumers determine what products are most efficient to help keep their energy costs down. Paula Glover, president of Alliance to Save Energy, a nonprofit group, told CNN that on an annual basis the program costs about $32 million and “helps American families save over $40 billion in annual energy costs.”

Circling back: Last week, we told you that Temu was displaying how much tariffs were contributing to price hikes by listing them as “import charges,” a tactic that Amazon reportedly also considered but abandoned after the company’s founder, Jeff Bezos, was urged by President Trump not to do so.
So we asked if you thought retailers should show shoppers how much tariffs are contributing to price increases, and more than 9 out of 10 (91.1%) of you said yes, they should. The remaining 8.9% of you thought retailers should not show how much tariffs are contributing to price increases.
