More than "renewable" energy needed: Microsoft

Yep.

"I think it would be a fascinating outcome if we woke up 10 years from now and said look, you can have all the nuclear you want, it doesn't have a weapons problem related to it, the cost of fuel is relatively low, there's no reprocessing requirements. It would be kind of a silver bullet for the energy problem."

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Microsoft goes Hohm Alone

Software goliath Microsoft has introduced software which will tell you how green you are. And save you money in the process.

It will introduce the software next week and is collaborating with four US utilities, allowing US people to gauge the efficiency or the inefficiency of lighting, heating, AC and other devices that consume electricity.

    In this case I don't really mind as it does have good uses in energy management.
