I completely agree that is where the real issue is. Although, the Software industry has had a free lunch with Moore's Law for decades and now the bill has come due - we write a lot of (almost irresponsibly) inefficient software that certainly doesn't help the situation. We should really fix it all, but I agree the major onus should not be on the consumer, since it merely follows the producer. The producer has to set the tone.
