“If you put your clothes in the dryer, the energy you use is measured and counted, but if you hang them on the clothesline to be dried in the sun, the energy saved disappears from our accounting.”
I found out about this talk of Tim O'Reilly on YouTube. I thought it was worth a reference in one of my little blogposts.
