Thermostat Madness Hits Talk Radio

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 8:12 am

Yesterday, KFI’s John and Ken were urging listeners to oppose California’s plan to seize control of your thermostat.

And I got countless Google hits with the words “California” and “thermostat.”

I think word is getting out.

UPDATE: I’m told Rush Limbaugh mentioned it. Well, that would explain the 523 kajillion Google hits. (Okay, more like dozens, or maybe even hundreds. You get the idea. There were a lot.)

UPDATE x2: John and Ken are talking about it again, right now. They are giving numbers for members of the California Energy Commission. Also, they are explicitly crediting the N.C. Times — i.e. Bradley J. Fikes’s article. Apparently Channel 6 in San Diego picked up on it. It’s a direct line from Somsel to me to Bradley to what I’m listening to right now. Cool.

Right now I’m tenting my fingers and saying, in my best Monty Burns voice: Excellent. All according to the plan.

Apparently the NYT is working on an article as well.
