Saving electricity by turning computer off?
I need to be online a fair amount, but hubby keeps nagging me to turn the computer off when I am not using it, to save electricity. My question is, which is more fuel efficient: 1) to run the PC all day, or 2) to turn off and turn on several times during the day (say 5?) I'd be grateful for your thoughts!

Wind power - is it limitless?
This is not strictly the correct place to ask this question, but what the hell... We all know there's currently a rush to build windfarms. What do you guys think will be the effect, if any, on the earth's climate if wind energy is siphoned off in this way? Is the energy limitless as it, ultimately, originates from the sun?…
