Editorial Review of Local Cooling
You don't like throwing away money or power. But it's hard to remember to shut down your computer manually, and you don't really intend to be away from it as long as you are, and, and, and...so you waste energy. Local Cooling is your partner in the fight against global warming and money hemorrhage. This free utility integrates into--and expands on--the Power Options Properties that Windows offers. It gives you more options and more satisfaction.
Windows already lets you specify how long to wait before turning off the monitor, switching to system standby, and so forth. Local Cooling lets you make it either very easy or very detailed. You can accept one of three levels of across-the-board changes, or you can dole out the increments as finely as you like by inputting your own numbers instead of choosing from a meager picklist. In the program's interface, Local Cooling tells you how much energy your graphics board, CPU, and other components are burning. You can see the power savings realized by some small tweak, such as spinning down your PC's hard disks at fifteen idle minutes instead of thirty.
Nice as the extra adjustability is, Local Cooling's biggest advantage is the way it engages the user. It displays your energy savings in easily understood units: kilowatt hours, trees, or gallons of oil. You realize how much you're saving. If you want to keep score, you can log in to the Local Cooling Web site to compare your conservation to that of other individuals and companies. We really are all in this together.
