Energy-guzzling plasma TVs will be banned in Brussels eco blitz

The plasma screen television is poised to become the next victim of the battle to curb energy use.
Giant energy-guzzling flatscreens are expected to be banned under legislation due to be agreed by the EU this spring.
Plasma screens have been nicknamed the ‘4×4s’ of the living room because they use up to four times as much electricity and are responsible for up to four times as much carbon dioxide as traditional cathode ray tube sets.

The most energy intensive will be phased out under the new EU standards for minimum energy performance, which will follow the voluntary withdrawal of the traditional 100watt light bulb.
The remaining TVs of all types will have to carry energy rating labels designed to make it easy to distinguish between the best and worst performers.
LCD flat screen TVs are much more energy efficient than their plasma cousins so are unlikely to be banned.
A 42in LCD TV uses similar amounts of energy to a much smaller traditional set.
A spokesman for the Department-for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the plasma TV would not be banned completely, with eco-friendly sets remaining on the market.

This is more ways to force you to use products that are considered eco friendly but the bad news is not long ago they made it by 2012 to make you use energy saver bulbs that have mercury.

What should be banned in Brussels, is the B.E.A.S.T. biometric development laboratories aka (Bio Engineering Advanced Science Technologies)
Was helicopter photod from above in the late 80’s, roof of the labs.
At the rate technology is progressing, it is ludicrous to deny the progression towards the proverbial “mark of the beast”, which without no man shall be able to participate in the global economic system. Rev 13
My prediction, collapse of economies causing high crime rates and bank robberies- creating justification for the dissolution paper monies to prevent robberies. The collapsing economy also justification for the implementation of a total reorganization of the monetary systems.
Also, use kidnapping and missing children to justify the traking ID which will be included in the mark.
The mark will be touted as ultra conveniant, containing tracking, banking info, tax id, personal info, basically everything. That’ll separate the wheat from the chaff.

“which will follow the voluntary withdrawal of the traditional 100watt light bulb.” First i knew about it being VOLUNTARY. I swear you won’t be able to own a pushbike soon.

Ban all tv’s, all that you see on them anymore is just mindless trash. I haven’t had one for more than two years and you would be amazed at just how your life will change when you finally decide to cut the umbilical chord that feeds you all the lies.

Gee, I guess I don’t feel so guilty anymore about only having a mere, mortal, so-out-of-fashion crt…

Yes we were all given free cff lamps (here in Australia)as stated above full of mercury, passed by the greens here.These lamps full of mercury are so dangerous that if you accidentally break one you have to open your windows for 2 or 3 hours and put a wet rag on top of it.They also release huge amounts of mercury into the environment (soil) when disposed.Why not go for Led s which are more efficient then cff (last 5 times longer) even though they are more expensive to buy but they use 6 watts as opposed to 15 watts that cff s use which make them cheaper overall and don t have all that poisonous mercury.

I am amazed with it. It is a good thing for my research. Thanks

I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
