All very well, but they can't regulate the laws of physics and require them to change in order to suit the EU agenda. The idea that the replacement products perform as well as the outlawed ones is something people already have experience of. In some cases, it's bullshit, so of course people are expecting ineffective kettles and toasters rather than the same performance at less running cost. The Brussels bureaucrats have so little faith in their ideas that they are keen to keep them hidden from the British until after the vote. What they SHOULD be doing is producing solid evidence to prove that we WILL end up with better kettles and toasters. The problem is that often the regulations run ahead of the technology, so when they messed with lightbulbs, we ended up with a worse experience of indoor lighting, cheaper to run, but more expensive overall because of the high cost of the new bulbs. We also found out that the new bulbs contain toxic substances, whereas the old incandescent bulbs just had glass and metal, and if one broke it could be swept up and chucked in the bin. If a new one breaks, you are supposed to open all the windows and take care in getting all the pieces off the floor. It is also much more difficult to dispose of according to regulations, although in many cases they do just get chucked in the bin as before.
Only now do we have a technology in LED lighting that begins to match the performance of the old bulbs, and is good enough to replace the spotlights too.
Kettles are very much governed by the laws of physics, it takes a set amount of energy to bring a pot of water to the boil in order to turn it into tea. A low powered kettle will still use just as much energy boiling that pot of water, it will just take longer, especially if it's watched
If they are worried about the internet routers, then a lower powered one would mean even crappier WiFi than now, and it may mean that people set up relay routers just so that they can still get a decent signal. This won't save energy because you will be doubling up on the number of devices being used to deliver that signal.
The way forward is a return to wired connections in the home and office, using WiFi only for portable devices and when out.
Next winter, we should send out a crack team of eco warriors to Brussels, confiscate all their lightbulbs and give them one 10w low energy bulb per room, their restaurant will have all the electric ovens replaced with eco wood burning stoves and solar ovens, and the heating will be replaced with an air to water heat pump designed to use all the hot air generated in the debating chambers and committee rooms to provide low carbon heating for the whole of Brussels.
