By the time this Communist government is through with us, we’ll have both monetary system and standard of living of Zimbabwe.

And isn't it interesting that one of Obama's richest supporters is George Soros, who was responsible for the downfall of the economy of Zimbabwe.

He siphoned off billions and left them eating dirt.

He's the puppet master here now.

People emit huge amounts of CO2 doing outside activities. TVs save energy.

Next they will ban new pools and hot tubs. Not only are they energy intensive and emit massive amounts of global warming water vapor, they cause parties and fun. That's not fair to minorities, the poor, and uninvited bureaucrats.

I’ll store your tv here in NM if they won’t let it thru the checkpoints in California. ;)

From your link:

Is California considering banning plasma screen televisions?

No, the state is not banning any type of TV. Consumers will still have the freedom to purchase any type and size of television
that meets the efficiency standard.

LOL. They aren't "banning" it, just regulating it out of existence.

That’s a very good point. Let’s see if we can get a movement going, “ lower your carbon footprint, deport illegals “

Until this everything I've seen states that at least LCD’s use way less power that old CRT’s. I just bought a battery back up for my 42 inch Sony and the time standards show it will run 2 to 3 times longer on the battery than our old 32 inch CRT.

I bought the battery back up for the TV because we had constant power failures and brownouts. The back up has something called AVR ( Automatic Voltage Regulation ), a feature that regulates power to 120 volts. Oddly enough, we haven't had one power failure since I bought it.

LCD computer monitors always use less juice than ye old CRT monitors. About one third the power draw
