State Controlled Thermostats!?!?!
Kalifornia Uber Alles!!

State proposes to take control of home temps
By: BRADLEY J. FIKES - Staff Writer
Revision to building standards would make some power conservation mandatory
California utilities would control the temperature of new homes and commercial buildings in emergencies with a radio-controlled thermostat, under a proposed state update to building energy efficiency standards.
Customers could not override the thermostats during "emergency events," according to the proposal, part of a 236-page revision to building standards. The document is scheduled to be considered by the California Energy Commission, a state agency, on Jan. 30.
The description does not provide any exception for health or safety concerns. It also does not define what are "emergency events."
