Texas Makes Green Computing Mandatory

athloi writes to mention that Texas legislators have passed a bill that would require computer companies to provide free recycling services to their customers for hardware purchased. "The bill (HB 2714) requires computer manufacturers to provide a "reasonably convenient" recycling plan that requires no additional payments from consumers. Dell and HP provided some model legislation that was used as the basis for the bill, which will only affect computers purchased for personal or home business use, but it could still encourage manufacturers to adopt efficient recycling programs that might then be applied to all machines sold."

Good, I'm glad! I hope Texas (my state) fucks over Cali for being retarded enough not to build more power plants.

Repeat after me. Environmentalism and Economies HATE each other. You can't have one without messing up the other! Cali made their choice to be "Green". Now they can reap what they sow.
