Obama’s EPA Now Wants to Prevent You From Showering Too Long in Hotels

On vacation? Want to relax with a nice long shower in your expensive hotel room? Well, if Obama’s EPA has its way, the President’s scolds will be there to harass you if your shower lasts longer than Obama has decreed that you are allowed to.

The EPA wants to monitor showering in hotels with the eventual eye toward regulating it. It’s just the latest part of the nanny state[1] built by Emperor Obama who thinks he should be there–EVERYWHERE–to tell you how to live your life.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower.

The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.”

“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,” an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.”

“The proposed work aims to develop a novel low cost wireless device for monitoring water use from hotel guest room showers,” it said. “This device will be designed to fit most new and existing hotel shower fixtures and will wirelessly transmit hotel guest water usage data to a central hotel accounting system.”

Imagine, you walk out of the shower and there is an EPA suit standing there to berate you for taking too long to shower! Or, maybe a siren, a flashing red light and armed troops will show up if you exceed your allotted time.

I wonder how long you will be sentenced to in shower jail?

King Obama has spoken. So let it be written.
