Just heard today that ready to be implemented at the end of the month is a new energy compliance bill for the construction industry. Every new home and commercial buildings will be required to be fitted with a new meter that will be controlled by the government. If they think you are running your thermostat to high they can adjust it for you. Don't believe me?

"Upon receiving an emergency signal, the PCT shall respond to commands contained in the emergency signal, including changing the set-point by any number of degrees or to a specific temperature set-point. The PCT shall not allow customer changes to thermostat settings during emergency events."

Just insane how any government can go so far into our lives. Why the hell don't we just build more reactors?

Because California is a done. My ultimate goal here is to get every single measure shot down this election. This socialist legislature needs to learn to stop all this spending and taxing people when they screw up. Enough if enough. The revolution can have a big impact here in CA, and hopefully it will. All Ron Paul supporters should vote No this election cycle.

That is better than rolling blackouts, but it is still bullshit. I'd open the doors and turn on every light in the house to spite them.

the better solution would be to invest that money in www.nanosolar.com - we could have a CHEAP, DURABLE and SUSTAINABLE 4'x4' solar panel on every light post and electric pole in the state.

That has got to be unconstitutional. That is reeking of big brother.
