By that analogy, all desktop puters should be shut down whenever they are not generating responses to inputs, or actually accepting inputs, and the time lost in shutdown and restart is an acceptable cost, because the energy savings is non-zero. There are such things as reasonable threshholds and de minimus. I'm not convinced that that data presented for this so far is valid, much less above threshhold. 8 million trees naturally sounds like a lot when out of context, like the way politicians typically speak of spending and taxes. In the context of double or triple digit billions, 8 million isn't particularly much. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
