Why We Don't Pay Enough For Gas
(Tufts Observer Online) "Oil prices hurt everyone. Even me. I don't own a car, but I still pay a premium in every product I buy that takes more than a horse and buggy to reach my door.

Computers have become, indirectly, a significant source of greenhouse gases, according to Kevin Klustner, CEO of Verdiem, a start-up that has devised software for curbing electricity consumption by PCs. That electricity often comes from coal-fired plants that release carbon dioxide. Often, the power gets expended for no good reason. "Thirty percent of the energy consumed by a personal computer is wasted because people aren't in front of it," Klustner said.
