Plain and simple..
They ripped off every tax payer in the country for there own gain. Claiming ther stoves were 75% efficient to qualify for the tax credit. They knew all along they weren't even close to those kind of numbers. However they wanted there piece of the pie and didn't want to develop a stove that could actually do that.
So, they mid led every customer, the IRS, and every tax payer to line there wallets.
It's fraud at it's most common sense, what I meant by legitimate companies, was the ones who actually spent 100k dollars developing a stove to make 75%, they griped enough to get it to stop. Shaver wasn't the only one doing that, but they were the most forceful and misleading through there claims. Across the industry shaver is hated by most manufacturers because they feel they give the whole industry a bad name through activities such as this one.
That's as simple as I can put it, no personal opinions involved
