Its sad how if you don't agree with one way of thinking your automatically tagged as the complete opposite. If not liberal then crazy religeous nut case, if not religeous, then ignorant liberal.
As we find more and more energy sources, the "average joe" will find more and more ways to waste them. The problem will grow with the solution. I see it in my roommates: I replaced all the iredescent bulbs in our house with 14 watt florescent. The result? Our power bill went up 10 dollars each because everyone thought we had "extra energy." Even now, one of them is running one of those ungodly electric space heaters. Do you find a higher paying job or cut cost in living expenses? Frankly, I think we need to educate the masses to a far greater extent to live conservatively. The occasional power company radio ad just isn't cutting it.
Well, it would be a conductive rod suspended in the vacuum, minimalising the loss(or rather gain of heat).
This all of course means nothing because silcon still has resistance at 0 K:(
Imagine mounting the processor on some conductor(as a "heat sink") then mounting it in a vacuum. Now use liquid Helium to pull it down to 4.2 Kelvin. I wounder what kind of funky quantum anomalies we would get...

I say we adjust the planet's rotation and orbit so we have perfect intervals.
