California is the most populated state in the Union, with
about 37 million residents or about 12 million households.
If one 200 watt TV is on in each household during prime
time, that's 2.4 gigawatts, or about twice as much as you
need to be propelled back to the future in a DeLorean.

So are TVs taking that much of the overall electrical draw in
California that they need to regulate it? If so, I would suggest
Californian's should get a life and get out there and do something
besides sit in front of a TV! Much of California's population enjoys
some of the nicest weather, best destinations and most enjoyable
entertainment that can be had in the world. Shame to waste it.
Or is this just a political thing?

It's what I call 'pseudo-action'.
This is what large governmental bodies do to make it appear they are
doing their jobs and earning their pay, when in actuallity, they are
simply doing something that 'gives the appearance' to the public of
doing something good or useful when in fact it is not.
