Seriously, this is stupid.

I mean, do they really want to put Pioneer out of business over there? That would be unimaginable.

Heck I mean right now, Pioneer plasma TVs (from 6th gen) are ROHS-compatible in Europe (and now the rest of the world as well). Power consumption figures of it are on an on-going downtrend (around 20-30w less per newer generation) and that they are also lighter in weight.

What more could they want?!?!?

It does show that they are not tackling the problem with the right means. If they want to stop global warming, why don't they ban dirty coal or encourage citizens to buy less beef products (as shown by masher and his study).

Look. I am not a plasma fanboy (as I bought a Samsung LCD TV recently) but seriously, why should a ban be imposed when the plasma TV companies are in fact trying to reduce power consumption and heat in their TV sets.

Seriously, the intention (to stop/reduce/reverse global warming) may be good but the plan (to ban plasma TVs?!?!?!?) is fucking stupid.

You can't explain to a person who buys a huge TV and then consumes over 500 watts/hr to watch the evening news that he's an idiot, even though the purchase alone proved that outright.

This concept is beyond the comprehension of the locals:
