I wonder why larger TVs are allowed to use more energy?
If the intent is to promote lower power devices surely it's better for me to use an 'inefficent' 14" screen using 100w than a 100" screen using 110w?
The only counterpoint that I can think of is that this would effectively ban very large TVs. But once you're at the point of saying you can't have energy wasting things, it seems obvious that that would include very large inherently energy wasting things.

- Gordonjcp 4y agoIf the idea is to ban inherently energy-wasting things, then turn off all the streetlights.
- benj111 4y agoWhy are streetlights inherently wasteful? We may not need them, but we don't need TVs. Plus in the grand scheme of energy wasting things, why is that top of your list? Seems a weird thing to have a vendetta against.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoBecause nobody needs an 80W lightbulb every 25 metres along every road and street wasting electricity and causing light pollution. Cars have lights. Bikes have lights. Streetlights are wasteful and polluting.
