Too many laws
We were forced to spend about $2,000 more than planned last year (compared to simple incandescent cans) to install LED lamps in our kitchen and dining area remodel. Sure glad we got that done before the water Nazis invaded.
In Palo Alto, all new construction MUST include wiring for chargers for EVs.
Stop hiring contractors! Skip the taxable and inspectable transaction. If you don’t know how to do something there is likely an online video which will show you how to do it.
Yup and waaaay tooo many stoopnagles.
Low volume toilets = flush two or three times. Water saved = 0
Low volume showers = shower longer. Water saved = 0
Low volume dishwashers w/ “pause” cycle = wash more and more maintenance. Water saved = 0 $saved = 0
How did that work out?
Install a few Nuclear Power plants hooked to desalination units and California water problems would be manageable.
Too logical, though.
Something tells me that the grand poobahs in Sacramento don’t realize that you can rip the flow regulators out of those fancy new “green” fixtures.
California is absolutely, positively intent on driving itself bankrupt - except, of course, for the legislators, the IT zillionaires, and the movie stars.
Those sainted souls are protected from contact with the hoi polloi and exempt from all laws and regulations.
Rest of the nation expected to follow?
These stupid, myopic jackasses should stfu and mind their own business.
In the region where I live our water source is Lake Ontario. What the hell are we going to do? Drain the great lakes by spending too long in the shower?
Why anyone would live in a hostile foreign socialist country like Commifornia defies my imagination.
I am so glad I do not live in a place like that. I built on to my home (added 2000 sq feet) and never had to talk to one person about anything. I understand living in a city etc and having some laws but it does get ridiculous and expensive.
For those on wells and septic systems, this is insane. Those folks pull water to the surface and reintroduce it to the soil to infiltrate. There is virtually no evaporative loss. In fact, it may improve the performance of the hydrocycle.
