Totalitarianism is spreading

"An Englishman's home is his castle" is an oft used expression. It is no longer true as I believe there are now 1000 different organisations who can demand access to an English house. From California comes even more of this intrusiveness (my emphasis)

"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."

Thanks to Bishop Hill for the spot.

How long until this is instituted in this country in the name of preventing Global Warming? I give it 5 years unless we radically change the people who govern rule us.
