Save Energy with the Help of Edison

Hey There. I am the "Tech Explorer" at the Maxim blog. My interests lies in technology and the environment. You will notice that my posts will mostly deal with those subjects..including this one that will introduce you to Edison's new PC Power Management Tool.

Many of us are inseparable from our computers...but while at work or even when we are just surfing the net, our computers are busy sucking down energy. What options do you have?..well you can put your computer to sleep every time you leave your desk...or...you can trust that Edison's PC Power Management Tool will save energy for you!

After installing the software you can customize the tool to turn off display, monitor and hard drive on a schedule. They have pre-sets for "work-Time" & "Non-work time". Ok..OK.. I know there are tools out there that do similar things, whats cool about this program is that it will estimate for you how much money you will save yearly/weekly using a particular setting, how many Kilowatts of energy you will save weekly. Lastly Edison's tool will pat you on the back by letting you know how many pounds of harmful CO2 you have prevented from being produced.

Try it for yourselves and let me know how it goes.
