Energy savings and Internet
Active seems our new minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism Miguel Sebastian, at least more active than when it was known in Madrid as the candidate for Mayor Michael Sevaahostiar (pardon me), while a few days ago presented an interesting savings plan energy . This plan will be developed between 2008 and 2011 plans to invest 245 million euros to be used to reduce consumption of fossil fuels and encourage energy savings especially in transport. It is interesting to think how this will affect future energy crisis in the Internet. A computer uses energy even when something off, and the average energy consumption per team is what you spend a small lamp (about 200W), so you might say costs occasioned by the use of a computer are minimal compared with other applications we use in everyday life. Although as a curiosity we must know that the MAC spend more. Companies dedicated hardware devices have increasingly taking into account energy savings, manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard launched a system for a while saving on your computer the equivalent of what would consume a 75-watt bulb on for an entire year. Dell launched a line of Smart Energy to reduce between 30 and 50% consumption of desktop PCs and web servers. Companies like Intel joined the Chicago Climate Exchange and committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 6 per cent or more by 2010. In June 2007 launched the Climate Savers Computing Initiative , an initiative that brings together Dell, Electronic Data Systems Corporation , God , HP, Intel Corporation, Lenovo and Microsoft . These giants have the commitment to reduce by 50% in energy consumption of computers. In figures this would reduce to 54 million tons of oil per year, which would mean a savings of $ 5.5 billion in energy costs (and us while in Spain, planning to give a low energy light bulb per user in 2009 and 2010
) Beyond the commitment to have most of the companies that produce hardware or software, companies in general use a lot of computers have the need for complex cooling workstations and this carries a high level of energy consumption. That is not only important to lower the consumption of computer systems but is also extremely important that the cooling air conditioners for energy efficient equipment or to develop equipment that require less cooling. Today there are in the portable market that consume less and less, as the model launched last year by OX. The phones have improved their batteries, have a load average of 3 hours can last days, depending on your use of the equipment. Nokia has a line of batteries with alarms to encourage users to unplug chargers once they are loaded. There are initiatives of companies such as Orange to body movement recharge the batteries of mobile phones, or the example of Apple soon will launch an Ipod and Iphone may be recharged by a small solar panel. These initiatives are good, but the final compromise always falls on consumers. It is we who must be aware that there is little energy on the planet, and in countries like Spain, the weakness of relying on energy policy partner dramatically outside. Thus, we would avoid triumphal tour of pseudo-dictator Hugo Chavez type that are over a wash of image in our country "offering" cheap oil for 100 years. How can we put our grain of sand? There are some things we can make in our daily life: - Avoid standby: standby devices are not turned off and consume 15% more. - Responsible use of equipment: Use suspend or hibernation mode on your laptop, do not leave for hours on nonsense. - Batteries: you must use them correctly and to help optimize its load on energy saving. Recalls the importance of charge-discharge cycle starting, trying to leave them charging a couple of hours after completion of loading and unloading is encouraging faster. - Disconnect chargers: When not using the phone, do not leave the charger connected. When loaded your phone, camera, pda etc: disconnect. Tags: energy savings , dell , ecology , Google , Hewlett-Packard , computer science , intel , Leova , Microsoft , miguel sebastian
