The "Power Eater" Igloo

[HardOCP News]

How do you draw attention to climate change and excessive energy use? By building an igloo made from 320 refrigerators stuffed with electronics running 24/7.

I bet the real point to this was to show off their mad camera skills... or to show the world how retarded they are... I don't have enough caffeine in me to figure out which yet.

 

[DyNamiC.]

I love it. Show how wasteful we are by wasting more! Brilliant!

 

[thyshallsmite]

what a douche

 

[k1pp3r]

Are the buckets there to collect condensation off the units lol

 

[Space_Ranger]

That 65 second video was 64 seconds too long.

 

[AceGoober]

I wonder who is footing the electric bill for his "art"? All the article mentions is a nearby meter to measure consumption.

 

[ghost6303]

guns are bad mmkay... let me demonstrate this by shooting a bunch of people....

 

[griff30]

So it's like protesting nukes by dropping nukes?
Jesus, I'm all fecking over that!

Man made climate change doesn't exist and guns protect us from tyranny.

 

[niconx]

I only have one refrigerator.

Thank goodness that they spun around the 'art' a hundred times. Otherwise I might have missed something important.

It's not [H] unless they also measure heat and noise and compare its performance to the GTX 580 and HD 5970.

They should at least make the fridges fold, or something.

I only have one refrigerator.

Yes, they have more than twice the number of fridges I have.

almost as absurd as the igloo.

 

[piscian18]

I don't even own a microwave.

Man made climate change doesn't exist and guns protect us from tyranny.

Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[crippledlemming]

I don't care for this as a point generator, it is wasteful just for the sake of waste, the message is muddy. It has no purpose...

you mean like leaving a light or driving a v8 pickup as a daily driver?

 

[Methadras]

Enviro-kooks are fucking nuts.

No the point was to give us all vertigo
