I leave my monitors powered on since they basically 'sleep' until the 
CPU is powered up. I have only had one monitor and two CPUs, one to 
water damage, out of 120 fail in the last five years.

From a look at my signature you can probably see that I am a 
progressive. I believe more greenhouse processes are produced by our 
natural environment than by human activity. The only exception to this 
might be our industrial feedlots and dairies. I have to pass two of 
these twice-a-day to and from work. Aside from a load-of-crap these 
animals produce they also pass large amounts of methane. When I travel 
to Texas, about 35 km away, on a trip to Lubbock or Amarillo, I pass 
mega-feedlots. We are talking thousands of heads. One even has a huge 
Christian cross on it - Go figure.

So. When you grab that milk or eat that steak - just think about how you 
are contributing to global warming. "Cork your Cow".
