If the more efficient TVs weren't so expensive, this wouldn't be an issue...and raising the sales tax didn't help that, either.

hehe, California is a state of Arnold The Governator, he drives like 8 hummers, has a stash of fully automatic firearms,has more lead based products lying around than anyone and there worried about TV power consumption.

I need to scroll to read the whole article.

I am guessing this will just raise the cost of LDCTV, so people are less willing to get rid of their CRT TVs.

Maybe some of the tree-hugging liberals need to stop wasteful govt spending instead of telling people what to do with their own property in their own homes.

More likely what it will do is cause TV's to not be bright enough. So we'll all have to sit in a darkened room to see our TV's. There will be a black market for "real" TV's that will actually be viewable.
Just like the volume control on an MP3 player. They decided that kids were blowing their eardrums out so now you can't get a player that puts out decent volume. I usually hook my player up to another source, through line in and rarely is it loud enough to play where a room can hear it.
