How much electricity must be saved in order to offset the manufacture of one white noise device, including the materials mining for all its components, the manufacture of all those components, the transportation (and packaging) of all those components (separately, each) to the assembly factory, the assembly, the transportation (and packaging) of the device to the warehouse, and then transporting it from the warehouse to the store or delivered (in more packaging) to your house?

- forgotmypw17 4y agoI was asking about the comparison of an existing radio (electronic, not electromechanical like a fan) to a brand new device.
