….As far as enforcement goes, you might check out what’s happening in Colorado where the electric provider has been forced to take over control of folks smart thermostats… Are we to assume Californians will gain an exemption from such??…

I have signed up for similar to allow my utility to turn off my A/C compressor if needed. I get paid a small credit on my bill as an incentive.
This is not some unauthorized Orwellian government takeover of the thermostats as your statement seems to imply. Why not tell the truth of things?
Orwell has nothing to do with it as he dealt in the realm of the fictitious, whereas the news from Colorado is very much ‘real world’ - but your’s is yet another example of how when provided the opportunity, folks generally respond affirmatively to incentives (as well as subsidies…) of which I can agree!…BTW, my assumption is that the Colorado electric provider did this out of NECESSITY, so in spite of your myopic interpretation there was no parsing intended from my end (Geeeeze!!).
