1) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Energy used in leaving computer on. (Message 31781) Posted 19 Dec 2007 by old_user489987 Post: If I leave my computer on in order to run climate change predictions, then that uses up energy which contributes towards climate change. Where does it balance out? Assuming that my computer wouldn\'t be on if I wasn\'t running BOINC, is it better to run the prediction or to save the energy? I am running a powerbook G4, but the question isn\'t really about my specific computer - more about a hypothetical average computer.
