Shakedown time nothing else
People will buy from out of state...........
Not to worry. Many people are going to be canceling their cable service as time goes on. I’ve done my part to save energy—I put my electric carving knife away.
Still, the government should stay out of this, its silly really.
Ping for your attention
TFT’s, which make up the vast majority of LCD tv’s sold today, already are energy efficient. Not sure what the point of this is.
Oh, intrusion!
They can tax my 52-inch, flat-screen television as soon as they remove the remote from my cold, dead hand...
Just thinking about the following questions:
1) Energy consumption on (name a Hollywood liberal) home/pool/plane
2) How many hot tubs in CA?
3) Disneyland/etc?
Gads, it’s so very easy to make a (greater) fool of a public official.
LCDs tend to use much less power than a CRT.
You can calculate the difference in power usage by looking on the back, or in the manuals. You’re interested in the wattage each device uses.
Be sure to take the “active” state, not “standby”.
From memory, both my 27” CRT TV and my 60” LCD TV use about the same amount of power - 100W/hr.

BUT THE ARTICLE STATES:
LCD — liquid crystal display — sets use 43% more electricity, on average, than conventional tube TVs; larger models use proportionately more. Plasma TVs, which command a relatively small share of the market, need more than three times as much power as bulky, old-style sets.
I can see folks driving to Tiajuana and Las Vegas to purchase illegal, energy hogging flat screen t.v.s.
Thus another underground economy was born.
PS, I got a "Spelling okay" on this post, thanks!
I’ve got a 50” plasma. It loves energy, and I love it.
The government can go **** itself for all I care.
They need to get the he*l out of our houses...

We should all cache this link and send it to everyone we know - put it in a “letter to the editor” of all our local papers. Maybe people will start to get a clue.
Move out of California if you are American.
Giv’em an inch, they take a mile.
A 29’ CRT takes about 130W to run. That’s .32 watts per square inch of viewing pleasure.
An 52” LCD rated “average” in energy consumption pulls around 250 watts, about .22 watts per square inch.
An LCD rated “poor” in energy consumption may pull as much power per square inch as a CRT TV.
Most 32” LCDs rated “good” in energy consumption pull LESS overall energy than that smaller CRT.
At worst there’s no improvement. The article twists the truth to gain support for the liberal agenda. Most LCD TVs pull more overall power because they’re a lot bigger, but they are more energy efficient than CRTs.
A big diesel bus sure uses a lot more fuel than my commuter car, but then again it can also carry a lot more people, making it overall more fuel efficient in getting people around.
Flee.
Just flee.
I think they got it wrong. I'm told that plasma takes more, but my LCD takes much less.
Same for the one on my computer.
Okay, that sounds like a plan. Let’s all unplug are t.v.s and that way we won’t have to hear liberal propaganda anymore. LOL!!! Seriously, these people need a life.
