This would make really great satire...if CNSNews was a satire site.

Nanny State PING!

[Madame Dufarge]

I haven't been able to find a decent steam iron for years now and I'm convinced that it's because of all the "green technology" that goes into their manufacture.

See, when I want a hot iron, I want it so hot that Satan would recoil from the heat. I want the walls to melt, I want the stinking wrinkles to run in horror at the iron's approach. But no, (and I actually spent over $100 for an iron in my pursuit) I imagine that expecting an iron to actually get hot is a felonious assault against Gaia and so the weapon must be mandated out of existence.

These madmen won't be happy until we're all down at the creek pounding out our hemp clothing with rocks.

Can you tell I was ironing today?

Thanks for the ping!

SmartGrid will also allow the authorities knowledge of what appliances you are using for how long, and if that violates the Directorate of Energy Global Citizen Energy Usage Quota Protocol, you may well pay extra or be forced onto a spartan, punishment quota of less electricity.

Perhaps there’ll be a market where frugal energy users can trade in their DoEGCEUQP credits for cash.
