Bravo to Eilperin and Mufson for straightening the spin, but the situation is even worse when it comes to energy efficiency, as blogged by David Roberts back in March at this site:  

The nonpartisan U.S. Government Accountability Office recently issue a blistering report on the Department of Energy's delinquent treatment of energy efficiency standards. Despite a mandate from Congress, DOE has missed all 34 deadlines for issues standards covering everything from consumer products to power transformers. Only 11 sets of standards have been completed; 23 remain unfinished.

Even the things the Bush administration is taking credit for have been obstructed or mismanaged.
