Its a tiny part of world energy consumption.


Do you have figures or reference to show that this endless manufacture
and replace with new process is a tiny part of world energy consumption?


Dont need them. Even the most superficial analysis of the
energy use of a household will show that the energy use for
heating, cooling, transport etc leaves the energy use for the
manufacture of domestic appliance replacement for dead.

I'd just assumed it was a major energy consumer.


More fool you.
