A pound of coal per week to run the SB3, or a pound of coal per hour to run your big screen TV, or 5 gallons of gasoline per hour to power your SUV down the road- it's all relative. If you worry about saving energy/CO2/whatever, put your effort into the things that pay off big, not the things that save 1 pound of coal per week. Once the other wastes have been pared down to where burning a pound of coal per week to run your squeezebox has become a big deal, then start working on it. Your server that drives the SB causes the burning of a lot more coal than the SB3. Maybe you should shut the whole system off and not use it. After all, why should the rest of us have to breathe the air polluted by the coal burned to power YOUR audio system (or YOUR SUV, or your whatever)?
