Can This Be True

More Government control of your life!

No longer will you be able to control the temperature of your home - the
government will - and you won't be able to do anything about it!

In other words, the temperature of your home will no longer be yours to
control. Your desires and needs can and will be overridden by the state of
California through its public and private utility organizations

What should be controversial in the proposed revisions to Title 24 is the
requirement for what is called a "programmable communicating thermostat" or
PCT. Every new home and every change to existing homes' central heating and
air conditioning systems will required to be fitted with a PCT beginning
next year following the issuance of the revision. Each PCT will be fitted
with a "non-removable " FM receiver that will allow the power authorities to
increase your air conditioning temperature setpoint or decrease your heater
temperature setpoint to any value they chose. During "price events" those
changes are limited to +/- four degrees F and you would be able to manually
override the changes. During "emergency events" the new setpoints can be
whatever the power authority desires and you would not be able to alter
them.

Yes I have heard this also. To much like big brother stuff. I think because folks are busy with their lives...this will just go through because others are to busy to question it or stop it.
