For myself, I have just one computer running, averaging about 600 Watts almost 24/7. I know a lot of you are burning a lot more than me 2~10+ times the power.
I wonder... Do you ever think about or worry about climate change? Or the impact as a whole team? Trying to find ET, or some mega prime.... I've always been aware of my power usage, and often wondered if I could still do DC off of renewable power (probably) but not at 600 watts. Maybe 600 watts with full sun.
When living off grid, I could not do DC, or very limited. Since, I didn't have the capacity of storage or solar panels to do so. Only recently, I have the opportunity to do so, after buying an small office space in Downtown. I think sometimes, I might be more acceptable to the idea if I knew my power was coming from Hydro or Wind. But, I know my power is being generated, in hawaii, by bunker fuel. Ish.... Even worse I'm using up a lot more AC. Not very sustainable by any stretch.
As I take a few steps back to look at my own carbon footprint, I need to seriously reflect on my actions that I take today.
Thoughts???
