Energy Draining TV's

In the average home, televisions account for approximately 10 percent of the electricity bill. With this realization, the California Energy Commission has placed a new set of energy regulations on TV's smaller than 58 inches.

By improving the TV's energy usage, California is estimated to save a little over $8 Billion, or provide power to 864,000 single-family homes.

While this action seems eco-friendly, is it consumer-friendly? The restrictions on the TV's could effect the prices and possibly driving current customers to on-line or out of state stores.

The Governator, I mean Governer Schwarzenegger, "Applauded" the efforts of the commission and his states continuous strive to lead the country.

    who cares if it's consumer friendly. Without an environment, us "consumers" would not be able to consume. That thought process is not exactly the most favorable when it comes to saving the environment.
