As soon as next month, California may become the first state to implement energy consumption rule for big screen TV sets similar to the ones for refrigerators and air conditioners. A trade group has been adamantly opposing it, reports the Los Angeles Times, but hasn't found much sympathy from the California Energy Commission, which may be able to avoid building a $600 million natural gas power plant if they can cut back on energy guzzling sets.

No other reason necessary. This is just the latest in a time-honored tradition of California kookiness.

Can't wait to move there now...

I doubt it'll pass. The movie industry is there, Silicon Valley, etc. There's no way citizens with all of their income would let such an asinine bill pass.
