Earth Day

Heh this is pretty funny, they want us to turn off our lights for an hour? What for?

I'm all for cleaner sources of energy and a cleaner planet earth, however we need new technology that's more efficient, we shouldn't have to use technology less just because its inefficient.

Probably ~40% of the energy in the things we use daily is wasted due to inefficient technology (just my guess).

PSU's iirc are at-most like 80% efficient, and standard lightbulbs waste like 50% of their energy as heat (i've totally forgotten the exact statistics of these things, so they might be off).

But the point is, we don't need to use technology less to conserve energy, we need to make technology better!
