RedM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 We have a very low footprint so we turned some extra lights on. BTW, the govt. seem keen to cut down on energy usage and yet they are persisting with this move to digital television and radio ignoring that digital radios, for example, use about six times more electricity than old radios.

MrRalphMan Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 But that's a good rise in energy consumption as the Gov get's to make some more money from selling off the then clear airways... Obviously all the profit will be churned make into the ground to make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Obviously all the profit will be churned make into the ground to make a difference ...Or in to disposing of all the redundant televisions, vcrs and radios that aren't capable of handling digital. They do exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
