I remember when the UK (United Kingdom) used to run this stupid planet, now it is all about banning anything that might offend anyone or, in this case, draws ‘too much’ electricity. Yah, OK. Apparently, if we want to trust the UK Sun, government leaders in The UK will propose a ban on electronic devices that use too much electricity, draining the life stream from the planet or some other non-sense. Plasma TV’s are said to be among the biggest-offenders, with many of them ‘falling foul’ of proposed standards.
Ohhh.., and there are plans to eliminate altogether the stand by function of electronic devices. Really its Awesome.
