arnold swallowspooginater is a disgusting example of a so-called moderate. there is nothing moderate about making laws telling people what size tv they are allowed to buy. fuck you rotten bastards. its none of your liberal business you nosy cock suckers. go fuck yourself i am getting a 3000 inch screen for my living room. go tell jerry jones to take down that monstrosity in cowboy stadium. you liberals are literally insane. so to you i say go fuck off!!go get a fucking life and worry about what YOU do, not what i do.

Um, I don't see anything in the article about laws telling people what size tv they can buy. It says they are implementing energy efficiency standards for televisions, just like the ones already in place for other household appliances. If you want a 50 inch tv, you can buy it. The manufacturer will just be required to adhere to energy standards (Like the energy star ratings for dishwashers, air conditioners, refrigerators, washer/dryers, etc).

"Average first-year savings from reduced electricity use would be an estimated $30 per set and $912 million statewide."

So, this is actually going to SAVE you money. Sure, $30 doesn't seem like a whole lot, but:

"If all TVs met state standards, Rider added, California could avoid the $600-million cost of building a natural-gas-fired power plant. Switching to more-efficient TVs could have an estimated net benefit to the state of $8.1 billion, the commission staff reported."

So, that's 600 million dollars the state doesn't have to spend on a new power plant (which you would be paying for), and 8.1 billion dollars total.

Which is better? Use more electricity and foot the bill for a 600 million dollar power plant, or use less electricity (saving YOU money) and not have to build a new power plant and save 8.1 billion dollars?

ill tell ya whats better---none of your fucking pencil neck geek business. if i want to let my car run all night in my driveway, its none of your fucking business. go mind your business, not my business. if i want nuclear energy to heat my pool, its none of your business. if i want to fuck your wife....okay, you got me there...but otherwise, with all due respect, go fuck yourself. dont affect my freedom of choices and i promise i wont affect yours....just go away and be happy. what the fuck is wrong with you liberals?

i just started work on my 3000 acre inground, open air pool. i will run it year round using kazzillions of barrels of oil, a hidious amount of electricty, and employ thousands from the area. i have owned the land for 100 years so dont try to talk me out of it. it will be a huge benefit to everybody bringign in millions in tourist dollars and vastly improve everyones economy in this town of 5000. and by the way, all you pencil neck liberals....MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS. idiots!

Last I checked, I wasn't the governor of California. I'm not affecting your life in any way by posting my opinion on this forum.

If you didn't want people to respond, why did you post this thread? Once you post on a PUBLIC FORUM, it becomes my business if I chose to read the post and respond to it.

Again, nobody is saying you can't buy a 60 inch tv if you want to. CA is simply saying to the MANUFACTURERS, "Hey, let's comply with some energy efficiency standards, shall we?". Do you manufacture televisions? No? Okay, then, what's the problem?

So you are going to make millions of dollars while using "kazzillions of barrels of oil?" OK!
Not even going to comment on the rest of what you are saying, because it is obvious that it would have 0 effect.
