| 600654 | 2007-10-11 19:53:00 | Are they also going to ban the bigger computer power supplies? According to the manual for the 47" LCD I have here it uses 295W when on and 0.6W on standby. What sort of power consumtion do they want to ban from? |

On the one hand they want to promote broadband internet usage so we can all blast each other using computer gear that can melt through the desk, but if you wan to watch Lord of the Rings in 103cm HD glory then you're a bad bad eco-destroyer. |

And that is the mentality of those that would control us. "Somebody" I think has the makings. |

| 600658 | 2007-10-11 22:34:00 | What about that aluminium smelter that burns through a third of our total power and pays a third the price of the home user. Gets me mad, If they want to get serious about this crap then make the big calls, Knock out the big players, Its just retarded to continually hit the small guys. |

| 600659 | 2007-10-11 22:39:00 | Or how about my sister who has to pay 1/3 more per unit for her power just cause she is on a farm?, probably even have their power pythons on the farm! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 600660 | 2007-10-11 23:15:00 | Well, my PC consumes about 300W at full load. Will they ban my PC? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 600661 | 2007-10-11 23:37:00 | Well, my PC consumes about 300W at full load. Will they ban my PC? Well they should if they are trying to lessen power consumption. People are more likely to have more than one computer at home but not many people would have more than one big screen TV. |
