You or I individually won't make any appreciable difference, but if everyone increased their domestic use 5% then new power plants would be needed to keep that 10% buffer. Likewise, if everyone lowered their domestic usage 5% I'm sure some plants could be shut down (and there certainly are plants which don't run 24/7 but are used only for peak times).
When it comes to SC servers I'm sure it's a tiny drop in a vast ocean, but when you have things like fold...@home shipping on 10 million PS3s with no mention of the power issues (those things are thirsty), then I start to be a little concerned personally. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63681 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
