>if your freezer is blacklisted b/c it wastes 50% more energy than comparable freezers

What if it's not because it wastes more energy? What if it's because it has a certain brand that didn't pay the energy company? If it wastes energy, then they should just charge you 50% more (or whatever their scheme is for the person that uses 50% more energy).
