Everything You Know About Saving Energy is Wrong

This article says that almost everything you know about saving energy is wrong. Then again, most of us have multi-monitor set-ups with CrossFire X / SLI and 1,000W power supplies so I don’t think we are the targeted audience for this article.

According to the researchers, basically every trope that we follow about how to save energy is in fact wrong. "Participants estimated that line-drying clothes saves more energy than changing the washer’s settings (the reverse is true) and estimated that a central air-conditioner uses only 1.3 times the energy of a room air-conditioner (in fact, it uses 3.5 times as much)."
