CEDIA released a statement Friday slamming the California Energy Commission for its passage of tough energy regulations that apply to televisions.

"The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) is outraged by the adoption of the unnecessary and harmful regulation regarding the California TV energy efficiency standard the CEC chose to adopt yesterday," CEDIA said in the statement.

The regulations were passed Wednesday after a two-week delay. They are scheduled to go into effect in 2011, with another phase scheduled to kick in in 2013.

"CEDIA has worked tirelessly on this issue and is dismayed and frustrated at the CEC's decision to pass the ruling," CEDIA chief executive officer Utz Baldwin said in the statement. "From the beginning of the hearings it was evident that the CEC had already determined the outcome before they started and had no intentions of factoring in any other viewpoints."

CEDIA will "continue to invest time and resources in this issue not only in the State of California, but as the issue is brought up in other states," Baldwin said.

Once again the Democratic Peoples Republic of California has come through. This one regulation will cost them more tax revenue and cause more high income earners to move to Texas than any of their other bone headed ideas combined. To quote loosely Sting with Dire Straits "People want their MTV" or something like it. To quote Michael Savage "Liberalism is a mental disorder" What we need are jobs and this is a job killer. Welcome to Texas the land of the Free and Brave where bigger is still better!
