    California OUTLAWS big screen televisions!

    In a state that clearly needs to get it's shit together they have now gone even wackier and started the TV police.

    "In a move that could spell the end of the plasma TV industry as we know it, the state of California agreed today to enact strict regulations on the amount of power televisions can consume, effectively outlawing most large plasma TVs as of January 1, 2011, with many more televisions set to be banned beginning January 1, 2013"

                          omg never thought that such a stupid law could be possible in the US. In germany there is a similar stupid law, normal bulbs are no longer available, only energy-saving bulbs.
                          Without my PanaPlasmaTV I would go postal.

                                      Wtf, this is ridiculous! So glad I don't live in broke ass California!

                                      Stop cracking down on dispensaries and let the marijuana bring in some revenue for you. They could make so much more money with that shit, it's unbelievable!

                                              B) the law they did pass is not worth getting all pissy over. Especially if you think it through.

                                                  I'm curious how many of you guys actually read the article. I think it's a good thing. It will impact pretty much nobody except the electronics companies and will reduce energy consumption at the same time. Many of the electronics companies are already capable of meeting the new energy efficiency standards. If anything, it is pushing energy hogs off the market and bringing the efficient ones into the market.

                                                      The way I see it, it's your power bill, run with you want. Until the state pays your electric bill, they need to stay out of your house.

                                                                  Anyway, isn't Plasma a dying technology? I thought everyone was moving to LCD because it looks just as good and suck way less juice. It also works better in every kind of room lighting, weighs less, costs less, etc.

It will impact pretty much nobody except the electronics companies and will reduce energy consumption at the same time. Many of the electronics companies are already capable of meeting the new energy efficiency standards. If anything, it is pushing energy hogs off the market and bringing the efficient ones into the market.

                                                                              Without my PanaPlasmaTV I would go postal.
                                                                              are you going to believe the person that posted this without actually READING what has been passed or using LOGIC?

                                                                              Let me use a brighter shade of crayon for the confused ones.

                                                                              TVs are becoming more and more efficient every year. By the time this law take effect only the most cheap ass POS TVs will not be in compliance. Why would you want one of those anyways.

                                                                              For example, Panasonic's 54-inch VIERA plasma TV would be allowed to draw 281 watts of power in "on mode." Today that set is rated to draw 293 watts of power. Smaller plasmas are generally OK under the 2011 specs, but virtually all of them fall short when put up against the 2013 rules. That same 54-inch plasma will be required to draw only 175 watts once 2013 arrives, a power reduction that just might not be possible.
                                                                              Just because this tard doesn't think it's possible doesn't mean it's not. Now if improvements cause power cosumption to drop 23% every 18 months by 2013 that 293 watt TV will only only use 173 watts. 2 watts under the law.

                                                                              Also TV using less power means less drain on the electrical grid which means less power pants needed. Guess who would have paid for those new power plants that needed to be built Einsteins?

                                                                              All told, the new rules are expected to save 6,515 Gigawatt-hours annually in the state, save the state $8.7 billion in costs for additional power plants, and save consumers $8.1 billion a year in lower energy bills.
                                                                              My math says that's $225 for every man woman and child in California. You don't like saving money?

                                                                                  Anyway, isn't Plasma a dying technology? I thought everyone was moving to LCD because it looks just as good and suck way less juice. It also works better in every kind of room lighting, weighs less, costs less, etc.
                                                                                  I also thought that LCD is better...am I wrong?

Why not educate people to encourage switching off of phantom loads rather than legislating like this?

TVs by 2013 will be under that requirement anyways. And the savings Californians will have by reduced consumption of electricity, well I'm not sure why anyone would be mad about that. California has been passing laws like this forever. People know this and if they really don't like it they should move because it's not going to change anytime soon. Almost any state they move to will have a lower cost of living anyways.

The regulations affect TVs that are 58 inches wide and less

I don't, because I have different experiences and try to conserve energy for a few reasons. In the end there are those who will love the law and those who will hate it. Who knows how it will even impact most people, if at all.

                                                                                                                                                                      TVs are becoming more and more efficient every year. By the time this law take effect only the most cheap ass POS TVs will not be in compliance. Why would you want one of those anyways.


                                                                                                                                                                      Just because this tard doesn't think it's possible doesn't mean it's not. Now if improvements cause power cosumption to drop 23% every 18 months by 2013 that 293 watt TV will only only use 173 watts. 2 watts under the law.


                                                                                                                                                                      Also TV using less power means less drain on the electrical grid which means less power pants needed. Guess who would have paid for those new power plants that needed to be built Einsteins?

Because I am so satisfied with my TV that I would buy the same again in few years (if there will be a shop that still sells these).

Because I am so satisfied with my TV that I would buy the same again in few years (if there will be a shop that still sells these).

The new regulations would be for all TVs sold after that date.
