How is the approach of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy different than the approach of the Energy Star program?

Energy Star helps consumers identify energy-efficient products through labels and ratings. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) focuses more on research and policy work to encourage energy efficiency across industries and government. So the best distinction is that Energy Star is consumer-facing, while ACEEE is more industry- and policy-oriented. The claims about Energy Star lobbying and the two groups providing the stated tax benefits do not make the other choices correct.
