Audio s impact on enviroment


It seems to me bigger amps that draw more current and use more electricity are becoming the norm, like SUV's audio manufacturers are not taking responsibility when it comes to designing energy saving components. I was always told to shut off the light when I leave the room, now I have to remember to shut off the stereo. Although reviewers are always touting the benefits of leaving equipment on all the time,I feel it's time to be a little more concerned about the impact this hobby has on the enviroment.

I live in an 40% solar heated home in northern New England. I use less than 350 kilowatt hrs. electricity per month. I drive a Volvo wagon instead of an suv because it gets 26 mpg. I also have a V8 pick-up because I sometimes tow a large trailer, but I use the car when I can. I leave my 200 watt amp on 24/7. Being energy conscious does not mean you need to give up anything. You need to make conscious desisions about your own energy use.
