ROLLER D'OH-STER

摘要

Universal Studios gave its new Simpsons Ride an energy-saving design-a particularly good idea given Homer Simpson's propensity for wreaking havoc at Springfield's nuclear power plant. The attraction, which takes visitors on a rattletrap trip hosted by Krusty the Clown, reportedly uses 662 fewer kilowatts per day than its predecessor (a Back to the Future ride) byrnswapping incandescents for LEDs and using a custom computer system to power down motors when idle. Springfieldrnhasn't seen an eco-phenomenon like this since Lisa Simpson lobbied against water pollution with her slide show, "An irritating Truth."
