Compared to other appliances, they are about as efficient as a Hummer. And it's not because we can't make them more efficient, but because the manufacturers -- like Sony -- aren't even trying.
We think it's time for the state to set some standards. Help make our homes more energy efficient by taking action today.
The solution is simple: Make TVs more efficient. Many TVs sold today are already meeting minimum energy efficiency standards while delivering quality picture and sound.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) is on the verge of passing new standards that will make HDTVs more efficient, saving consumers $1 billion per year and preventing more than 3 million tons of global warming pollution.
More than 4 million TVs are sold in California each year -- so we can't let this opportunity pass us by.
Even though energy efficiency is a no-brainer for most of us, for the corporations that manufacture televisions lowering electric bills and stopping global warming is not a top priority. That's why they were in Sacramento a few weeks ago testifying against the CEC's proposed energy efficiency standards.
Help us push past their resistance. The CEC is poised to adopt the nation's first ever efficiency standards for televisions on Nov. 18.
Ensure the California Energy Commission adopts these standards by taking action today:
