California Regulators Cancel Mandatory Thermostat Authority

Greetings. After an outpouring of objections and ridicule, including my own small contribution, the California Energy Commission has now reversed itself, removed mandatory government-controlled thermostats from the California 2008 Building Standards, and will instead concentrate on much more sensible opt-in and opt-out alternatives.

Ta-da!
