"waste"

All of a sudden we are selectively squeamish with computer resource usage, when we were fine having all that fun with computers and hardware, 3 monitor setups, using graphic cards to play games (dear lord!) and tinkering around with home rigs of every proportion and wattage for no reason at all.

Driving a car consumes 25+ more energy per hour than gaming. So urban planning which encourages people to drive likely results in an order of magnitude more waste than all home computer use.
