@joracle @Shrigglepuss we could also look into using more efficient software.
If we built the true cost of fighting and protecting against climate change into the price of polluting energy sources the focus of the computing industry would change.

@Shrigglepuss @tealeg More efficient software is a thing that we should focus on, but it would be too much effort for too little gain. How could we compare different software for their efficiency? How could we enforce software efficiency if people are already doing idiotic stuff like mining bitcoin?
We should focus on making our energy cleaner, cheaper, abundant and more available so we don't even have to worry about wasting it.
