Technology on standby significant contributor to global warming
Did you shut your PC down before you left work on Friday night? A recent PC Energy Report has shown that one in five white-collar workers left their work computer on overnight at least three times a week. That’s around 2 million computers and wastes £100m worth of electricity. Even some computers on standby or ‘hibernate’ mode still use a significant proportion of electricity.
87% of employees had never been asked to shut down their PC at night, nor did they make use of energy saving software to cut power use.
According to the report, if everyone turned their computer off when not in use (generally overnight) it would contribute to 10% of the total energy savings were expected to make under the Government’s climate change levy.
Reasons given by surveyed employees included that ‘no-one else did it’, that it wasn’t important, they simply forgot, or that they were worried about losing their work.
I know shutting down a PC can be a pain, as can waiting for it to power up the next morning, but really it doesn’t take much. Even shutting off the monitor rather than leaving it on standby or displaying a screensaver would be a start. If shutting down completely is too much hassle then at least hibernating the machine would save power.
Given that businesses are expected to save energy, and that they’d also save money, I’m surprised more don’t ask employees to shut down their machines, or enforce it. Surely it’s worth the extra 5 or 10 minutes it takes each day?
Other energy wasting culprits include TVs left on standby, and mobile phone chargers left plugged in once the phone is fully recharged.
It’s an important issue that doesn’t require huge amounts of effort to do something about. What do you think?

NATURAL SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING
In the year 1905, Nobel physicist, Albert Einstein, published his E=mc² EQUATION, which opened the door to THE WORLD OF THE PROTON GENIE, the door to all of the abundant energy that Earth will ever need. But, nobody looked or listened except the Energy Cartel, which stood to loose its enormous wealth and power if Einstein’s EQUATION should ever become implemented.
Many have attempted to implement Einstein’s EQUATION, but even the most promising successful efforts are routinely thwarted.
In brief review, “E=mc²” provides the basis for extracting and fusing PROTONS from ordinary, pure water, which will ultimately make everybody on Earth so idly rich and content from the benefits of this clean, virtually-free, and inexhaustible energy supply that nobody should ever again have to worry about pollution, war, or poverty, and Mother Nature will once again regain total control of any Climate Changes.
The Atomic Doomsday Clock reads, “7 minutes until Doomsday, and counting!”
Is it too late? Or, will some ordinary, individual Tinkerer (maybe just an average high school student) rise to the occasion, connect the dots, and construct a simple physical demonstration of Einstein’s EQUATION so that the entire World Population can become enlightened to the prospect of a new future of peace, contentment, and prosperity? Anything less will fail to uncork the PROTON GENIE for the benefit of mankind because “The Special Energy Interests” have sufficient resources to block any individual efforts to provide Cheap Power.
Please encourage your correspondents to link to this blog, and help spread Einstein’s great-inspired VISION, “A Free-Energy Paradise On Earth.”
