Nuclear Power
I quite like how the major issue about nuclear power is ignored, namely storage of spent fuel.
I also find it extremely naive to suggest that increases in the price of fuel will not be passed on to the customer, which is what you suggest will happen.
You are quite right in pointing out that most appliances that get flack for wasting energy, don't use much energy, but surely the point is that they waste energy and you hardly get any benefit.
I've run an energy audit at home and came up with quite a lot of interesting data
30W for 5.1 sound system
15W for router
100W for PC
10W (phone chargers, tooth brush charger and battery charger)
That's 155W or 3.7 kWh wasted every day.
For the sake of argument make 100W for the average household, they might not have a pc on 24/7 but will have TVs, DVD players, Hi Fis and you are looking at 2.5GW, not massive but significant
Biting the hand that feeds IT
