To reduce emissions, they've started targeting the gaming industry? The meat industry emits orders of magnitude more pollution (even relative to the number of users of each)! Obviously, politicians would lose favor for targeting the meat industry, and thus have avoided fixing measures which would actually reduce emissions.<p>> They list consoles with taking a bulk of the emissions at 66%, and desktop computers at 31%. In spite of this, consoles are seemingly exempt from the bill.<p>My guess is the exemption is to tend to corporate interests? Absurd.<p>This bill does nothing to target Bitcoin mining (these people custom-build machines anyway).<p>Thoughtless bill through-and-through.<p>Perhaps this will make more kids build their own PCs, and thus fall in love with computing. Pointless hurdles like this kickstart a hacker's journey. A silver lining at last.
