For now, there is a lot of 'economy' inside making energy usage more efficient. Like the LED bulb vs the incandescent.
- cratermoon 5y agoWhat about the energy use in making LED bulbs vs incandescent?
- gspr 5y agoAre you actually asking, or just attempting to muddy the waters?
- cratermoon 5y agoIS GP actually saying making LED bulbs is overall lower entropy than making incandescent, or is he throwing shade?
- neltnerb 5y agoI mean, the answer is that the LED bulbs have a lower environmental impact than CFLs or Incandescents. https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/study-environmental-benefits-leds-greater-cfls https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/study-environmental-ben... I think this is easy enough to find though... maybe they just don't know how to find this stuff.
- cratermoon 5y agoLED bulbs are a relatively recent invention, thus their manufacture, at industrial scales, was built on developments in manufacturing engineering that didn't exist when the incandescent bulb was developed. So here's a question for you: if we went back and re-tooled incandescent assembly lines for modern processes, would LEDs still beat them?
