> Please don't call an app from a startup spyware. It's unlikely we'll ever have the resources to do what it takes to look "squeaky clean" from your lofty perspective. Sorry, you're right. I've edited my original comment to be less damning. > Why don't you sign up and have a look at how much users are saving? For one, it doesn't look compatible with MacOSX. Additionally, I have little trust of 3rd party native code. > Little Green Patch, a social gardening game has 1,889,557 active monthly users My opinion of Facebook apps is that they are useless, but also (some privacy aside) harmless. > And finally, if 30 million kWH means so little, why spend a 100 million dollars of taxpayers' money (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Nellis-Solar-Powe... http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Nellis-Solar-Powe...) to pump that amount of clean energy into the grid? 100 million was spent to build a facility, not purchase a years worth of output. Solar panels should last at least 10 years, so divide that 100 million by at least 10. Additionally, funding solar installations is viewed as an indirect means of funding solar panel research, and not as a simple purchase of energy. > Surely, the Government must know better. I think that we all have an intuition for how government contracts are awarded, and knowledge isn't on that list.
