I still think that the energy used to post to Slacker Talk could probably power a small third world nation -- nm - secretslacker Oct 27, 07:33
really? I don't see that -- nm - zork Oct 27, 07:32

      - not really. people will continue to work on it and when someone comes up with something that will support a business model, it will take off -- nm - zork Oct 27, 07:33

        I don't disagree. and I think it's remarkable how much of a disconnect there is in our society between the idea of energy efficiency and its incumbent - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:49
        
        In our current political climate, i don't see anything happening. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:45 2
        
        it wouldn't bankrupt them, necessarily... - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:47 1
