Now that they have the other big problems solved?

The article goes pretty in depth wrt the California EC's stupidity. This is waay too far out of line.

I was surprised to read that Arnold supported the measure. Not sure if I trust the article, though, seeing as how it's from WorldNutDaily.

Wait, this is for real?

It's just making energy requirements stricter for TVs smaller than 58". It's a good thing because it kicks the manufacturer's ass into doing it, much as Energy Star has.



Just institute a pigouvian tax on energy consumption, for christ's sake.

Worth it just to see Asher's reaction.

Totally worth it.

Since 1975, the Golden State has led the nation in adopting tough energy standards for household appliances, homes and buildings. As a result, California's per-capita electricity consumption has remained flat for nearly three decades, while the rest of the country's power demand has grown 50%. Impressive. Think of the billlions saved in not wasting energy.

That I called you a douche? When do I not?

From the sidewalk, presumably.

You don't like a little smoke, stay home.

A bad was passed in Califonria after it was shown that bar maids had a high rate of lung cancer, even if they didn't smoke.

And Sloww, with your bum ticker, you should really give some thought to giving up the habit. We don't want you cashing in your chips early.

[VtLe67WR]

Aren't you already 87 or something close?

[kmjbbT3U]

Wind is going to **** electricity companies yet.

[Alkassyinhisk]

In Sloww's world energy companies don't produce their own energy, T. Boone Pickens does.

[famosetroie]

Sloww makes his own electricity and the electric companies pay him!

[JesikaFclq]

kinda ironic that the USA starts dealing with global warming by making TVs more efficient.

[Dweplyododo]

Lol global warming is a lie

what the flying **** has energy consumption to do with global warming?

[Foucceedo]

such as: china, india, africa

modern countries use nuclear

[scewLacysmazy]

Source of electricity in the USA (2006):

[Pinkman]

the point is that global warming has, during the last 10 years, become a political tool to push pet issues of legislators. very few of the people who use the term understand what it means anymore, and very little of the political legislation pushed has anything to do with it.

ps: in case you haven't noticed it, you're becoming another oerdin

[jPNy2BP5]

You asked a stupid question debatable

displayed a fundamental misunderstanding of where energy comes from in the USA no

and got summarily educated. congrats for your mad wikipedia skillz, but california is very different from rest of the usa in it's energy use

also, the only result of CA (or whole US, or whole north america for that matter) using less coal is a lower price of coal, and thus china using more of coal in it's energy use thanks to laws of supply and demand. that's why none of this moralizing and government control has anything to do with global warming
