Banned because of power consumption? The New York Times writes that Australia could consider banning Plasma TV's as a result of failing energy efficiency tests. We did not realize that there was such a big discrepancy between LCD and Plasma energy consumption, but it turns out that 153 LCD sets 36 inches or larger earned energy star ratings while only 83 plasma sets did the same.




okay I see. But what happens when someone has a Plasma 50" tv and no car and the family next door has an LCD 50" energy efficient and 5 SUV cars.... That is the bigger picture - not focusing on banning something or another. How about banning SUVs all together. I have no problem with that :-)
