Just when I thought the California government couldn’t get more stupid I read this… The gist of the story is that the divinely inspired CA government is dictating down to a T what people can and can’t do. Now you can’t buy “power hungry” TVs (well not effective till Jan 2011). Most TVs are actually under the 2011 limit, but wait it gets better, they have to be even more efficient by 2013, which means you can basically kiss Plasmas and many LCDs goodbye, hello LED TVs… This crap legislation is just that, crap, what the hell are these people thinking? Fix your economy and build more powerplants. Don’t force people to do things like this. This is setting a scary precedent, I mean what is next? Probably cars I’m guessing, you won’t be able to drive a car longer than 60 inches or something like that, or they will all have to use CLFs, or buy solar panels for your house.
I’m just speechless about this… Some of the comments on the article are very worth reading, like one person comparing this to the book 1984….
