Power-hungry Computers!

Unplug when not in use!.... .....

Its right!
My big Tower Computer is plugged in and running from early morning until bed-time, seven days a week, all the time I am at home (on my own)!
Browsing, typing, playing various games*, watching news and videos, listening to music, etc.

It actually keeps me company!

Unlike "Mobile/smart phones", it doesn't affect anyone else... ...!

(Only the Electric Bill affects me!).... ...!

California! Where even clean air and water can cause cancer!

I will admit, though, that there must be something in the air & water to make so many people stupid.

As soon as I saw that it was about California, I stopped reading.


Anyway. My CPU is running at 800MHz as I type. When I run Prepar3d or FSX, it jumps up to just under 5.8GHZ. Newer systems already have power reduction built into the CPU & motherboard, not to mention the power saving functions built into Windows.

Computer shmooter! If I lived in Cali, I’d need an entire power station to myself just to drive my air conditioning!

Here in sunny Gloucester, the heat from my power tower is enough to heat the room on all but the coldest days of winter. In summer, I have a huge room fan to assist cooling - so that’s one load of electricity to counter the effects of another load!

Demand side management? Phooey! Just build Sizewell C now and start planning the next dozen.
