Mr Hugosson, you realise that the single piece of evidence you linked, the report from directive 2005/32/EC is from 2007, that table about bandwidth buffers is from 2006 and in 2009 the directive was abandoned? Are you expecting us to believe the directive has secretly been re-instated and the EU overnight drew up some new laws to which only you are party? Did you also not realise that AMD is a stakeholder of MEERP and so is actively consulted on any energy directives since 2009? This is poor poor journalism.

Had me worried for a second there.
 
The problem with politics, I bet you a lot of money that somewhere you find behind the first guy to go around starting to make plans on idea's like this, a guy who is involved with, or being paid by guys involved with, rival tech.

Big tv producer who doesn't do much/anything in plasma goes ahead and gets a few politicians to say Plasma's are bad and tries to get them banned, company that doesn't make plasma's sales go up, company that does more plasma's lose business.

Its how the world works, 90% of politics is people giving contracts to, considering legislation to improve or slow sales of certain products, its all special interests stuff, very little politics is "we're doing this because its right and it makes sense".

Thats how the world is with a sham economy and manufactured "society". Even worse is they spend time and money researching utter crap like this and 99% of plans like these get binned after spending often upwards of millions researching/writing reports.

If this is to be believed, then it must have been ATi/AMD who set this in motion then, as back in 05-07 they were more efficient?
 
I for one am sick of the EU pushing thier stupid noses into everything. It's about time the UK grew some balls and left the EU. We did better off without them and the UK would be a damn sight richer not having to bail the rest of the EU out everytime they start crying/getting themselves into trouble.
 
What the EU say there going to do and what they actually do are two different things.

Will be interesting to see what happens in a few years time tho.
