If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved.”

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption:

I've been praching this for years and running up against folks like noreaga12326.

DDC controls, or BAS systems, would require an override - or an opt-out button- if residences were to consent to be governed by them. Being human requires flexibility, freedoms, and options.

I have the control system, devices, and even a rough contract/agreement in non-applied form. It looks like it will be within my lifetime now!

So many times I been told that we use more and more electricity because we all have more and more gadgets that use electricity.

Now this echelon system wants to stick an electric gadget in every object everywhere and have them in constant communication with each other, which will be an incredible increase in the use of electricity.

And the justification for this network is ... to save electricity.

Here's an idea to save electricity - stop building this energy draining system.
