Putting on my frowny-faced principal engineer hat: we need someone to do the calculation of cost of manufacturing vs the amount of money saved by increasing energy efficiency.


Before you put on your frowny-faced principal engineer hat, you should put on your reading glasses. Try reading the first statement I made again...

"Assuming this becomes easier and cheaper to do as the technique matures"

In other words, what I'm suggesting is a potential future use if the cost comes down.


Heh, my glasses were actually quite dirty when I wrote that.

More seriously: I did see that, and your idea is interesting! My intent was to communicate the minimum threshold we would need to hit to make that future a reality.
