Why have refrigerators been the focus of so much research in lowering energy use?
What will be an ideal response?
Every home has one, they eventually must be replaced, and the oldest models used
huge amounts of energy. The reduction in energy use by refrigerators has saved building a
substantial number of generating facilities.
