You're asking the wrong question, you should be asking things more along the lines of:

"When is BO going to send humans to space for more than a few minutes?"
"When is blue origin going to send humans to orbit?"
"When is blue origin going to rendezvous and dock with a space station or other craft?"

For now, they've got an expensive carnival ride.

Just as a reminder to everyone; nuclear causes around 1-2 orders of magnitude more deaths per produced terawatt-hour of energy than the usual fossil fuel suspects (oil, coal, natural gas), and this does not exclude large-scale nuclear accidents (or in the case of Chernobyl, a downright disaster).

Now there's a claim that could benefit from a citation.

And... who's going to verify/certify/ensure that those appliances are actually as energy efficient as claimed?

Consumer Reports?

Who says they are the only candidate? The government has the NHTSA, while the private sector has the more rigorous IIHS. UL has done this kind

Speaking of UL... you realize that they are one of those who does the testing under the EngeryStar program, right? ex: https://www.ul.com/services/en...

If the program goes away tomorrow, no doubt they'd simply close their doors and never test energy efficiency again.
