The Los Angeles Times today is running a story on the California Energy Commission’s likely vote to restrict energy usage by televisions.

That is the California state government reaction to everything: tighten the screws.

Not encouraging growth in energy resources.

This is a government-created shortage in electricity, just like the farm-destroying drought in the Central Valley.

The new rules for energy usage by televisions will be formally unveiled today. A 45-day comment period will follow.

Want to tell the Commissioners what you think?

Check their website’s contact page or email appliances@energy.state.ca.us.

Do you find news here worth reading? Do you agree (or disagree) with my slant on that news? Buy me a cup of coffee! My recipe for a daily cup: 8 ounces of 2% milk, 2 shots of espresso, 4 shakes of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a topping of light whipped cream. Drop a tip in my jar — whatever amount you want, whatever amount you think I've earned.
