Power-hungry HDTVs to be banned in California
California, a state that takes going green seriously, has seen their California Energy Commission consider new regulations which might see a ban on selected HDTVs from being sold in the state. This is a first-of-its-kind proposal for an efficiency standard, where it came about due to the drain on the state’s electric grid. Assuming the bill gets passed, only energy-efficient models would be sold by 2011, while even tougher standards are due by 2013, making HDTV manufacturers look deeper into the type of HDTVs that they will market in California. Should it be approved, the proposal is touted to reduce California’s electricity costs by $8.1 billion in 10 years, which more or less is saved by reducing the need to build new powerplants.
