The Left's next move will be to ban HI-DEF TV's.

Having extra money to spend on things like plasma TV is a problem only more taxes can fix.

So build 2 more power plants.
Generate electricity.
Sell it to those who want to pay for it.
I fail to see a problem.

My thought exactly. Older tested technology and about 5 times more trouble-free than Plasma screens...
To: Dallas59
What about the poor? If poor people can't have plasma screens and suffer power outages, it's not fair! That constitutes a screen gap that the Brits must address. And what about the children, for heaven's sake? Won't anyone speak up for the children?

Plasma screens take MORE power for equivalent picture size than cathode-ray screens?
Who did that engineering?
Where is Energy-Star on this?

Goofy bastards! Since 1922 you need a "Broadcast Receiving Licence" for radio and TV in the UK. They are insane.

How does power consumption on LCD TVs compare to plasma?
To: goldstategop
They can have mine when they pry the remote out of my cold dead hand.
To: Brett66
Isn't plasma THE MOST abundant thing in the universe? Overusage of electricity should not be blamed on usage of Plasma TV's.
Diodes are now replacing the OLD wattage lightbulbs, and more efficient energy conscious appliances require less electrical energy to operate. What they are really saying is that, more Brits can afford Plasma TV's to go along with their tea and scones.

Our insatiable appetite for the big picture is threatening the planet.
Oh my God! People actually want to use technology to enjoy themselves a little more and want to use energy to do it! When will people understand that we should all live in caves and wipe our butts with leaves to minimize our impact on the planet? Oh, the humanity!
To: Dallas59
An average 42" is 350W. Smaller ones are much less and LCDs are even lesser. Its the equivalent of two or three 100W light bulbs, and the vast majority of households dont' own plasma tvs (yet). Those that do likely don't have them on all at the same time. And this puts a strain on the national power grid? Is this the latest the env wackos have come up with to attack prosperity, after global warming didnt work out (this year) ?
To: Dallas59
just think how sharp those global warming documentaries will come in, though...

I really thought this article was some sort of joke. Flat screen TVs endangering the entire planet?!
With all the evil creatures trying to kill us all, they're worried about some teacup crisis...build a couple of nuclear power plants and QUIT WHINING, BRITS!
