Dear Big Screen TV,

Watch out, 'cause California might ban you!

The California Energy Commission is considering a proposal that would ban California retailers from selling all but the most energy-efficient televisions. Critics say the news standards could take 25 percent of televisions off the market — most of them 40 inches or larger.

Well, now I regret not buying one of you while Circuit City was in its death throes.

And listen to this propaganda that the state of California is spitting out:

How much money can these proposals save?

These proposals can save you $18 to nearly $30 per year per television.

Yep,that's it, Big Screen TV. California is willing to sell you out for a savings of $30 per TV, per year.

The world already says it's inefficient to have large SUVs, big gas-guzzling trucks, and big ol' 200-watt light bulbs, the least we can have is you, Big Screen TV. I hope you're with us for a long, long time.


Regards,
Everyone

Do you like your big ass TV? Let the California Energy Commission Commission know how you feel because these regulations might go down sooner than you think: appliances@energy.state.ca.us
