[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 495953, member: 2960"] On average, most Macs use less electricity than a 60 Watt light bulb... a lot less. Putting the computer's display to sleep drops that miniscule energy consumption even further. Computers of any kind account for only an itty-bitty, teensy-weensy fraction of worldwide electrical use. Air conditioning, lighting, and refrigeration account for a LOT more. The myth that computers are exploding the demand for electricity was started by an article in Forbes Magazine, which has been debunked over and over by numerous scientific and collegiate groups. Besides, the OS was designed to be left running 24/7. It is only natural to let it run the way it was intended. :) [/QUOTE]
