California Will Control The Air You Breath

Here.

"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."

Seems reasonable. Now if only they'd send someone over to wipe my ass for me.
