I "enjoy life" for a favorite pastime free from nannies making uninformed suggestions. ;)

Ironically, all those Chi-Fi switchers (and products from companies like NAD) are manufactured where half the world's coal is consumed and contribution to greenhouse gases continues to skyrocket rather than fall like most countries including the US.

Not sure how reliable this is, but take a look here under UK and also China.

China may still be the highest consumer of coal, but it is moving towards renewables rather more enthusiastically than the US!

  Billy is reducing how frequently he cheats at school, but still does so more than any other.
  
  Thanks for the laughs. :)

    Think what you like but "per capita" the US burns almost twice the fossil fuel as China and China is building far more renewably sources of energy than China. Their use of gas-guzzling transport (road, shipping and air) is a fraction that of the US, China sells 3 times as many electric cars than the US by percentage
    China does burn far more fossil fuel in total, but that's because it has become so successful in manufacturing. If the US were to regain its old manufacturing success, the figures for US would worsen and for China they would improve. Stuff has to be made somewhere!
    The Chinese electric car market is 38.9% of world production, whereas the US market for these cars is 9.9%.
    China produces more wind and solar power than the US - 745 big units compared with 485 big units in the US.
    Obviously China has lots to do, but it seems to be doing it faster than the US and the US remains the leader by far in terms of lifestyle / unnecessary fossil fuel consumption - eg the use of AC for home cooling, car and air travel.
    Lots of interesting facts and figures here - like it or not!
    Getting back to the subject, it makes good sense to use Class D amps unless other classes (in particular tube and Class A) are actually better in terms of sound quality. I don't believe they are after pretty exhausting home tests with the best Class D

      This is what I'm observing.

      Let's look at the data instead. While the US has slightly reduced greenhouse gases since 1990, China has quadrupled theirs.

      You're welcome to your opinion. Horns and switchers are definitely not my cup of tea. :)
