COMMENTS: Green Flat Screens
To kick off NBC's corporatewide Green is Universal eco-effort, Lee Cowan filed an Our Planet feature on flat-screen television sets. He cited the astonishing California statistic that flat screens account for 10% of the state's household electricity usage. Accordingly the state has ordered that sets sold in 2013 must consume 50% less electricity than now. The Consumer Electronics Association calls the rule "arbitrary" and insists that "forcing manufacturers to meet these energy guidelines will only stifle innovation." Cowan checked in with VIZIO: "That will not be a problem. Most of its models already meet the standards."
