Just remember that reading the article about how to reduce your
greenhouse gas emissions emits greenhouse gases.
Yeah, for all my concerns about the oncoming climate changeWell i have gone away from that road a long time ago. But here in Europe
catastrophe* I have to say I'm not helping with my gaming setup. I
mean, just the four monitors consume way too much power... and then
they - combined with the CPU and GPU- generate so much heat I gotta
whisk it all away with air conditioning. And that's just the/one/
computer.

I've looked into the heat generation and it's a non-issue compared to
the carbon emissions that go into generating electricity.
On the plus side at least Etherium of the bitcoins has switched away from
the GPU and therefore power insensitive mining, not that I was planning
on trading in it.

I alyways shun to turn on my main pc given the energy consumption
especially in summer. We have a good thermal isolation so turning the pc
on in summer is basically heating the room. Sure you can as you said
"whisk it away" with the AC (a luxury not that common where I live, we
have one because I have been doing home office way before covid) but
that is rather pointless.
That plan has been in existence for years now but if it ever will happenOn the plus side at least Etherium of the bitcoins has switched away fromThat the plan, but it hasn't actually happened yet. Fortunately the price

of crypto currencies has crashed recently, so there's a lot electricity
being wasted on Ethereum and the other curriences these days.
Energy prices here in the UK are getting close to painful with the one I notice most being petrol as you're reminded about it every time you goYeah UK is slightly different, temperatures here in Austria have become
to the garage.
As for AC, not much call for it in the UK as it's not often we get particularly high temperatures. The one time I would like it is when
it's just too hot at night to sleep. The problem with that though. I
find it really hard to get to sleep with that type of noise in the background.
