Where’s the outcry against large, flat screen TVs? They’re the real energy wasters.
Didn't California outlaw flat screen TV sets larger than a certain size for that reason? I know the bill was introduced into the California legislature a few months ago but lost track whether it passed and was signed by the governor.

"Samsung HL-S5679W 56" 149.85 Watts"
As I write this i am sitting next to a table lamp with a 3-way bulb. At the moment I have it set on "High", 150 watts.
Now, if I can just get someone to trade the lamp for a Samsung HL-S5679W 56" flat screen TV, I can say that I have "gone green" and saved energy!
I gave up ironing for the big TV. I’m in pajamas a lot of the time.
