Coming across a New Scientist dated March 1975,1 read a letter entitled "Energy squandering" from L. M. Newell at the University of Essex, UK, bemoaning shops' habit of keeping televisions on and the consequent waste of energy. No doubt the writer would have been even more appalled at today's monsters, which can churn out more heat than a small electric fire.rnThe car industry made little progress on efficiency until it was obliged to reveal each model's performance, and most "white goods" are also now required to show their energy efficiency.
