"An amplifier IMO is the least of our problems. If you want to decrease your carbon footprint you have to look at your entire picture. Your amp is probably .05%."
Absolutely true. I also like the idea of low consumption but one must really look at the big picture first. Those unneeded car trips, idling at the store or school waiting for whoever, the drive-throughs while you wait for the pimply-faced youth to find the pickles.
The "I don't like white light so I won't use energy efficient bulbs" argument, the constant lawn sprinking even when it's raining (I am in Atlanta where the drought is serious and is going to get worse, and still people water their lawns like there's no tomorrow), the Hummers and other behemoths "because I can"... the list goes on and on and on.
We Americans are the most wasteful people on this planet by far... 5% of the population consuming 20% or more of resources. A combination of ignorance and arrogance if you ask me.
Green amps... sure, why not? Helps the conscience at least. Don't forget to plug them into that power regenerator that drinks the juice by the gallon!
