Use of 'current' in options - > appliances

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The start of this section discusses conclusions about hypothetical savings if older appliances were switched for newer ones, using a 2010 source as compared to a 2001 baseline for appliance efficiency. Given that the source is closer to 2001 than to the present day, this should probably not be framed as current.

Might even be better to delete it for now until a more up-to-date framing for the issue can be found. ~2026-25612-42 (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
