CNN.com - Researchers: Homes have more TVs than people - Sep 22, 2006
The average American home now has more television sets than people.
That threshold was crossed within the past two years, according to Nielsen Media Research. There are 2.73 TV sets in the typical home and 2.55 people, the researchers said.
“If it works as it’s supposed to, it will charge up in five minutes and provide enough energy to drive 500 miles on about $9 worth of electricity….the equivalent of about 45 cents a gallon.”
Finally someone willing to say how much this new energy solution is going to cost (even if its just a SWAg at this time). I am so tired of hearing how great these new energy sources will be and how they will ease our reliance on oil, yet fail to mention how much they are going to cost. I don’t really care if some new technology will ease our reliance on oil if its going to still cost the equivalent of $2-3 per gallon.
Unbelievable!! I am amazed at how much power these media giants think they have. This is precisely the reason I only rip my CD’s to mp3 and do not employ any type of DRM. I paid for the music, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. More reason to switch to Linux.
