In the business world, the fastest growing use of elec-
trical power is caused by computer systems. The
amount of electricity used by computers in businesses
and homes is phenomenal.A large portion of this elec-
tricity is wasted. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has done research showing that most of the time
PCs are powered up, they are not in use. The EPA
promotes the use of energy-efficient equipment be-
cause generating electricity causes emissions that pol-
lute the air.
