Flat TV=More Nuclear Plants

Flat screens are a big green no-no (as we’ve mentioned before). According to a recent article in The Observer, if half of British homes buy a plasma-screen TV, the country would need two more nuclear power stations to meet the extra energy demand. Flatter they are, but when it comes to energy these “hi-tech” toys use up to four times as much electricity as that clunky thing you just tossed on the street (to be recycled via Garbagescout of course).
