Bill - where on earth did you get that idea from? As Steve writes there
are limits to power, and they are VERY real. The amount of people
who'll actually suffer (physically at least) is much smaller with
regards to bandwith, than to power as a whole - but the arguments are
the same. Resources that can be exhausted should be treated with care,
or they will (in time) be no more. (and where will the world be with
fantasic bandwith, but not the power to use it?)

Electricity is a VERY limited resource, and saving some of it has a
hell of a lot of good effects - too many to bother discussing here!
Saving on bandwith (or any other resource) is a good thing too - and I
can not emphasize this enough (imho).
