David asks…
Does installing games in the xbox 360 save you energy?
recent updates in the xbox 360 now lets you install games. Is it more energy efficient because the disc doesn’t spin in the console?
admin answers:
No, the 360 uses the same amount of energy if it’s spinning or not. If anything, I would say it requires MORE energy because the CPU is reading and loading and displaying data off of a cached utility partition HDD file, whereas before it is not.
If you want to be more energy efficient, turn off the Xbox, and buy a gameboy.
Mary asks…
Gas prices too high.? Heres a couple of simple ways to save energy and help bring down the prices.?
I live in Sofia Bulgaria where there are 25,000 taxis. Most of these run on methane gas and petrol so althought petrol prices have risen their fares have stayed the same.Why not buy an electric car? there are some very good ones on the market now. And everything we could all do to help. Switch off all the lights,TV sets and computers when we are not using them. Every little thing helps and if we all did this it would save billions of watts of electricity

I’m doing my bit Michael.I got rid of my oil fired central heating and replaced it with a wood pellet boiler.The pellets are the byproduct from sawmilling.I put double glazing in and changed to a much more economical diesel car .Next thing I’m doing is solar panels when my son gets back from Oz as that’s what he’s been doing out there for the past few months (he’ll know all about them).I changed all my lightbulbs too but I’m checking on the stories about them containing mercury so I might do a u-turn on that one.You Michael?
