Calif. Considers Ban on Big Screen TVsBan would prohibit retailers from selling non-energy efficient models.
Lawmakers in California are exploring all avenues for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Even your TV isn’t off limits.
The California Energy Commission is considering a proposal that would ban in state retailers from selling all but the most energy-efficient televisions, reports the Orange County Register.
The CEA believes the ban could take 25-percent of televisions off the market. It would affect most TVs 40-inches and larger.
“The larger the television, the more at risk it is of being banned unnecessarily in California,” Douglas Johnson, senior director of technology police for the Consumer Electronics Association tells the OC Register.

So what, they're basing it on total power consumption rather than watts per square inch of screen or something?

"The commission is spinning this to the public as a way to save money. They estimate buying an energy efficient TV can save you $18 to $30 per year."
So $300 savings over 10 years.... Those energy efficient models better be less than $300 more....
I think i may quit my job and start smuggling plasmas into Los Angeles.

A few years back we had a client who had to install low flow toilets to meet the village code. After inspection.. She ordered a bunch of toilets from Canada and had the plumber swap them all out in the middle of the night.
I can picture it now.. i set up shop in Canada where i disguise plasmas as energy saving LCD's and pack them in false paneled areas of shipping containers.
"Bright One" will become universal code for black market power hungry displays.
I just launched Visio.. im going to spend the rest of the weekend designing my elaborate secret hideout.
