We may be crazy mofos down here, but we're still a huge chunk of the U.S economy, so we don't do everything wrong. In fact, only New York and Texas are even in the same league (barely so ... since the GSP of California is about 50% more than the second richest state):

GSP per capita has a few surprises, perhaps:

Interesting that while NY, TX, and CA rank very high in GDP (Wall Street, Oil, Entertainment) their per capita ranking falls down below others = a lot of wealth in a few hands. Just an observation that probably doesn't belong here, and is far from the whole picture, .......just saying.

By the time I am ready to buy a new plasma, the manufactures will have adhered to the power consumption regulations, really not a big deal at all. Until then, I will enjoy mine and let it have its juice box.
