Comrades

The Plutocrats extract from the masses by exhoritant increases in utilities and oil based products. They fear Visigoth rumbles and dole out minimum wages increases hurting small businesses and middle class……no one happy except government paid workers….alas…..which came first the pension or the kids-

Just deport all the illegal aliens and we’ll have plenty of excess energy. We’ll also have efficient , safe schools where English is spoken. We won’t have the gangs and we won’t have Al those hit and run accidents by illegal aliens that drive like they’re still in Tijuana.

What a joke. Has anyone tracked the wattage consumed for computers over time? (It fell 15% between 2010 and 2013 and monitor power consumption fell 40%.) Has anyone tracked the number of computers sold each year? It started to decline with first iPhone and went into sharp decline ever since the first iPad came out. Desktops are becoming rare, laptops are becoming thinner and lighter with solid state drives and can run on batteries for 8 hours at a time. Those batteries by the way are also smaller and thinner and don’t contain many more amp-hours per pound than before, everything else in the computer just got more efficient. And most people I know shut their computer down when not in use for the sake of security.
There is a more in depth discussion at this site, http://www.govtech.com/fs/California-Poised-to-Set-Energy-Efficiency-Regulations-for-Computers.html. A representative ot the Consumer Technology Association aptly described this as “regulation through the rear view mirror”.
