Huckabee would support that. And if he claims otherwise, then he’s a damn liar. Because you know he will. This is EXACTLY the kind of nanny-state totalitarianism that is right up his bible-socialist alley.

House too hot during the summer ? Put a hot burrito on the thermostat to make it think it is much warmer. House too cold during the winter, put a bag of ice on it.

Better yet, de-install the gov't thermostat once the work is finished and inspections are finished and keep it if you have to put it back such as for future work where inspection is necessary and they might decide to take a look.

----the utility my folks got power from fifty years ago (an REA co-op) had a voluntary,off-peak power plan for water heaters, etc., then--

-I wonder why this isn't a good idea now in places like Commiefornia that insist on creating a power shortge??

There is not the technology for some of the items in the regs.
These politicians are insane.
My husband is convinced that what they are trying to do is squeeze out the individual home builder, in favor of developers who can spread the cost of these idiot regs over the cost of many buildings.

Can we isolate CA, let them have their own socialist economy, and let them trade with us as if a foreign entity?

[theBuckwheat]

Flee while you can to less crazy parts of the country. If you stay and pay taxes, you are facilitating the loons.

Hey, Californians, noooooooooo problem.

I'm sure that these bureaucrats will do a lot of studies first and get input from experts like ASHRAE before they grab your thermostats.

Huh? No, I don't think so either ...

The technology currently exists. Many power companies offer an “energy saver” switch which can remotely turn off your air conditioner’s compressor during peak demand times and stop your air conditioner from cooling your house. Home owners are offered small rebates on their electric bills in exchange for this shut down. I had such a switch already installed when I purchased my current home. The rebates were paltry and it actually caused my air conditioner to work harder as when the compressor was allowed back in operation the house was hot and humid and caused the compressor to work even more. I removed this switch when I installed a new high efficiency air conditioner.

Nanny State Ping.

When that concept spreads to the Moonbats in ‘Das Wisconsin Kapital,’ there are going to be lots of frostbitten babies each winter. *Rolleyes*

However, one thing the Bleeding Hearts up here do is to NOT cut off anyone’s heat or electricity until Spring, so those on the dole in cheaply built, poorly insulated Section Eight Housing could be blasting their furnaces all winter long with the windows and doors open, and we taxpayers still pick up the bill!

However, those of us with well insulated homes, that watch their energy consumption because we’re CHEAP, not EnvoroWackos, will be made to pay for everyone’s heat.

Substitute any subject for “heat” and you can clearly see how badly Government wants those of us productive members to foot the bill for everyone...themselves included.

I can’t think of a simpler example of Nanny Statism than that.
