California Regulators Cancel Mandatory Thermostat Authority
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000360.html
Greetings. After an outpouring of objections and ridicule,
including my own small contribution
( http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000357.html ), the California
Energy Commission has now reversed itself and removed mandatory
government-controlled thermostats from the California 2008 Building
Standards, and will instead concentrate on much more sensible opt-in
and opt-out alternatives
( http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2008standards/faq.html ).
Ta dah!
