The advocates for the eco-nanny state, after going after the toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, light bulbs, automobiles and other planet ruining choices we have made, are now targeting our choices in TV sets. And of course, they are starting their crusade in California (Is there any doubt that the CA of the Southeast, North Carolina, will not be far behind?) According to this AP story “If adopted, the regulations will require televisions sold in California
to be more energy efficient beginning in 2011. The requirement would be
tougher in 2013, with only one-quarter of the TVs on the market
currently meeting that standard.” That’s right, 75 percent of the TVs currently being watched by Californians would be outlawed in 3 years. Once again, no matter what the problem, too much liberty is always the cause.
