anybody that believes a phone running from a 1200 milli-amp hour battery uses more power than a refrigerator literally should not be allowed to vote. Really. And Global Warming is killing us all....and the Government is here to help. If you really believe a refrigerator uses less power, try plugging your regrigerator into a USB port for a hour or so a day and see how cold your milk will be. Most refrigerators draw 2,5 or more AMPS of power while running. Just to review a 1000 MilliAmp battery is 1 AMP for 1 Hour. So if your refrigerator uses 5 AMPs, it can only run for 12.5 minutes a day before the battery is 100% exhausted. People nowadays don’t think for themselves. Wow you didn't even make it to the 3rd sentence in the excerpt. Maybe it is you that should not vote :-)

” That your iPhone, or more exactly your smartphone, uses more electricity than a refrigerator does. “
Good.
Excellent.

People nowadays don’t think for themselves. Or read the excerpt, it would seem.

No problem. If you are an IPhone user, you are exempt.

If they’re going to count the infrastructure of the phone, they should count the manufacturing, shipping and other infrastructure of the fridge too.
