LOL KOREA In most parts of the world it is actually possible to get to work without driving. You can for instance walk, cycle, take the bus or take the train. Personally I walk the 10-15 minutes it takes me to get to work. You might say that you have to take your children to kindergarten or something? Well, my neighbor cycles and the kid rides a small wagon attached behind the bicycle and the he cycles to work. (Might have been kinda cold the weeks with -15 to -25 degrees Celsius right before Christmas). I do have some co-workers that would have been quite lost without a car, but most would manage to get to work in some way or another. Btw, the Koreans are probably conserving electricity because they haven't scaled the power production or transport to handle cold winters. In Norway we have some similar problems when we get -15 on the west-coast where it's normally +5 in winter. | ||

MSL tried this last year. It overloaded the circuit and caused a power outage at a crucial moment of game 3 during the most hyped finals of the last several years. | ||

Thing is, even when it's hot in LA I'll wear a sweatshirt to a tourney to make sure my body gets loose enough, once I feel the heat after playing awhile I take it off and can keep playing normally. A lot of people do this, when they jog or do exercises, they warm up with layers on to get their muscles relaxed and stretched out, I don't know if this is the reason but guessing how Tasteoisis dress and they don't feel effected by the cold. | ||

LOL KOREA well now I know why every hates you so much lmao. Do you truly believe that handicapped people would not be allowed exceptions? No you don't but your imbecile so you said it anyways. Do you also believe that not driving to work entails not going to work? same thing. Anyways, I think stuff like this might be part of the reason that people didn't show up to some of the earlier matches, like when boxer played and there were like 5 people in the audience. | ||

Most americans use "air condotioning" to control the temperature in their buildings and the offices. Skyscrapers needs A LOT of that and you could not make it work with "sensible ways of heating", you would need less high buildings. 2. In any techical process where you convert energy (i.e. burning coal to get electricity or using electricity to get heat) you will LOSE a BIG CHUNK of the energy you are starting and thus with more transformation processes it gets worse and worse. The ratio for coal power plant is roughly 35%, so only a good third of the energy stored in the coal is actually transferred into electricity. The reverse process is equally not great and far from 100%. So with electrical heating you ARE contributing to global warming by creating more CO2 than you would need if you used the coal directly. I hope this clears up a few misconceptions ... oh and energy consumption IS ruining the environment, thus we need to take every possible step - however small - to reduce it. We didnt inherit this world from our parents, we only borrowed it from our children. | ||

And here is something for the ignorant american: Keep your bigotry out of it. But yes, excess energy consumption is a cause for global concern. I'm glad to see Korea doing something but I bet it has more to do with economy and national security than it does with saving the world. Put me down on the list of people who get super cold playing SC2. I often play bundled up in my slippers and afghan. I have enough trouble keeping my fingers moving when I'm playing -- I can't imagine how the pros do it if they're so cold! | ||
