I always hated california and now honestly, I want that entire state to fall into the ocean

fucking hippies
r u kidding me? its like we have no rights anymore… im going and turning on every piece of equipment in the shop right now.
It’s just plasma, fuck plasma who buys those these days anyway since OLED is out.
I highly doubt that’s true… I’m in TN right now but I’m going to check it out when I get home tomorrow. And if you actually read the article they are putting power-consumption regulations in place, not size regulations. It sounds like Plasmas, and only the inefficient ones will the the only ones effected. LCDs and LEDs will be fine. Just buy a quality TV and you’re fine.

doesn’t hide the fact that california as a whole sucks more cock than darkstar
If you mean the people in CA (other than me and my immediate family) then yes. IT SUCKS GIANT COCKS THAT WOULD EVEN MAKE DARKSTAR SCARED. But the geography, weather etc. are just amazing. But CA is doing a great job of running itself into the ground, so maybe all of these leftist liberal fucks will leave and go destroy some other state, and the 3 of us conservatives left out here can bring CA back to glory…
…yeah, right, that’ll happen.

u got a better chance of Darkstar going str8
I hate hippies.
everything bad in this country (except NWA) has started in cali…
lol… to save at best 150 watts of power while a tv is turned on
things have gotten so backwards in this country… the Bizzaro States of America!
Fuck the People’s Republik of Kalifornia and their loony socialist leaders. If you have a power problem, put in a nuke plant you granola munching hippies.
Truth! We have a nuclear plant at Diablo Canyon (perhaps a poor choice in names 
) that has proven to be the safest, cleanest form of power the state has ever had. We have it, working every day, in our own damn state… yet hippies will sit around and rant that nuclear power isn’t safe/clean/possible etc. Mother fuckers look at Diablo Canyon.
I agree with all of you: California’s geography and weather are simply amazing, but the people suck. The extreme-left have ruined the state. Over half the population doesn’t pay taxes, yet collect from tax-run systems. The housing market is still ridiculous and artificially propped-up by state-run programs. They tax the fuck out of me, and use my money to put Juan Paco Welfare collector and his 82 kids into a house. I pay the kids’ way through school, pay for their medical since they just use ERs for everything (the few times I’ve had to go to ERs from hockey injuries and stuff I sit there for hours behind kids with a common cough), and generally support them.
Honestly, I’m really fucking done with it. My company headquarters is here (in probably the most amazing, gorgeous area with perfect weather) and I stay here for that. But I travel 20+ days/month and see a LOT of places. I’ve found many other places in this great country I’d live, and I’d be able to buy a really nice house in with my income. I’d come back to Pittsburgh, I really like Boise ID, I’m actually sitting in an airport in Nashville TN right now and I’d live in TN etc.

the irony in this is it takes an energy crisis to ban a tv. not the millions of people who have turned into fat asses and developed health conditions. go figure.
Wow, you must be a hardcore lefty, aye? That’s what we need, a Department of Keeping Americans From Being Lazy and a Anti-Fat Ass Czar. Yay more big-government trying to pry into every part of my life, being run extremely poorly at best, hugely corrupt at worst and burning up MY tax dollars.
The problem is we need to stop letting these oxygen thieves live and let Darwin win! If some poor fat-ass that just sits around and collects welfare/unemployment/etc and watches 16 hrs/day of TV has a fucking heart attack and can’t pay for Emergency services themselves (or have paid THEMSELVES for private-run health ins) LET THEM DIE.
Now, I’m by no means the paramount of physical fitness. But I earn my way through this world, and I pay (well, my employer does, because I prove to be worth it) for health ins. If my wing-eatin’ beer sucking ass has a heart attack services that I paid for will take care of me. Not YOUR money.

we should seize mexico and take their oil…
not a lefty. not anything really. simply stating that it is ok to let people get fat, tax the health care system be pieces of shit etc. no one says to them–hey, stop being a fat ass and do something.
however, strain the electrical service and bam–we will ban it.
personally, i think we should just kill all motherfuckers and drop cali into the ocean. yet we cant do that.
Don’t worry TJ, CA is safer from radiation
Three Mile Island radiation leak investigated - CNN.com
(CNN) – Authorities at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island nuclear plant were investigating what caused a weekend radiation leak that resulted in 150 workers being sent home, officials said Sunday.
An airborne radiological contamination alarm sounded about 4 p.m. Saturday in the Unit 1 containment building, according to a statement from Exelon Nuclear, which operates the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania. The unit had been shut down since October 26 for refueling, maintenance and steam generator replacement, the company said.
“A monitor at the temporary opening cut into the containment building wall to allow the new steam generators to be moved inside showed a slight increase in a reading and then returned to normal,” the company said. “Two other monitors displayed normal readings.”
Three Mile Island was the scene of the worst U.S. nuclear accident, a partial meltdown in 1979 that resulted in the plant’s second reactor being shut down permanently.
Tests showed the contamination in Saturday’s incident was confined to the building itself, and none was found outside, Exelon said. There was no threat to public health and safety, but the workers were sent home because they could not continue until the area was cleaned, Bill Noll, Exelon vice president, said in the Saturday statement.
One worker was found to have received 16 millirem of exposure, and others received lower levels of contamination. The annual occupational dose limit for workers at Exelon plants is 2,000 millirem, the statement said.
Radiation exposure from a chest X-ray is about 6 millirem, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Although Noll said it was hoped work would resume at Unit 1 on Sunday, Exelon spokeswoman Beth Archer told CNN on Sunday it had not resumed, as the cause of the leak was still under investigation.
Two radiation specialists from the NRC were scheduled to investigate Sunday. “Numerous work activities were going on in the building at the time the alarm sounded, and Exelon engineers are working to determine the cause of the incident,” the statement said.
The March 1979 accident at Three Mile Island brought the nuclear industry to a standstill. The partial meltdown of Unit 2’s nuclear core resulted in no injuries to plant workers or nearby community members, but it triggered changes in nuclear power plant operations and emergency planning and led to tighter oversight of the industry by the NRC.
The Unit 2 reactor is permanently shut down and defueled, the NRC said. In 2001, FirstEnergy acquired it and contracted its monitoring to Exelon, which owns Unit 1. The companies plan to keep Unit 2 in “long-term, monitored storage” until the Unit 1 operating license expires, at which time both plants will be decommissioned, the NRC said.
A new generation of nuclear reactors is being considered in the United States as environmental concerns have intensified about coal-fired power plants.
