A laptop does not use much energy.
The state should not be able to do this. Build another power plant if more energy is required.
More insanity. PC’s causing global electricity shortage....
Such concern about energy efficiency appears to be appropriate given the findings of a 2015 Semiconductor Industry Association report [PDF] that, given a benchmark system of 10-14 Joules/per bit transition, “computing will not be sustainable by 2040, when the energy required for computing will exceed the estimated world’s energy production.”
