California May Ban High-Watt TVs

Russia's EU ambassador says his country aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 25% through to 2020. Ukraine's President, Viktor Yushchenko, has written an open letter to Dmitry Medvedev, asking him to change the terms of agreement on gas supplies.  The move 'appeared designed to embarrass his political rival, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko', says Reuters, alhough things will likely be tense enough ahead of Tymoshenko's meeting with Vladimir Putin today, as she has already announced that the transit price of Russian natural gas through Ukrainian territory will be doubled as of January next year.  Tymoshenko says the meeting's agenda does not include gas issues.  RusAl is pulling out of the construction side of the Boguchanskaya hydroelectric plant, its joint project with RusHydro, although says it will not withdraw funding.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is evaluating a proposal to ban energy-inefficient television sets in the state. The proposal intends to lower electricity demand, and if implemented would be a first in the country. This would stipulate televisions sold in California to be more energy efficient from the inception of fiscal 2011. The standards would apply to all television sets up to 58 inches. For example, all new 42-inch television sets have to use less than 183 watts by fiscal 2011 and less than 116 watts by fiscal 2013. That's considerably more efficient than current models in the market. A 42-inch Hitachi plasma TV sold in 2007 uses 313 watts while a 42-inch Sharp Liquid-crystal display, or LCD, TV draws 232 watts, according to Energy Commission research. However, as of now only one-quarter of the television sets on the market meet the required standard. Television sets ...
