No. We have to do both. Absolutely industry has to decarbonise - but its a hell of a lot easier to deal with the small contributors to atmospheric carbon, and rather negligent to avoid doing these things ourselves. We as individuals still add up to 25% of carbon across the world. Our driving, our devices, the food and things we buy and consume… And yes it is hard.

Yes our total power consumption is up to 25%, our idle consumption is a negligible part of that 25%, and absolutely dwarfed by our active consumption. If you want to make a difference, start working on reducing your active power consumption instead, that’s where our best contributions towards lower energi usage can be done.
