US to require agencies to buy green PCs, monitors
8th January 2008
Read it. Just another attempt on the part of the government to avoid doing what’s in the public interest, i.e. buying the least expensive equipment that will do the job.
How soon after the government publishes its requirements will there be companies founded to game those requirements into profitability at the taxpayers’ expense? I estimate about 3.2 seconds.
Not including, of course, those “friends of the system” who get a head start through leaks from “friends in the system”.
