   It isn't just TV but specifically streaming shows on brand new 4K TV sets.   
   I *thought* that the newer TVs were supposed to be more energy efficient   
   than the older ones, but I guess that trend has gone backwards with 4K sets?

   They are probably researching how much energy is being used by the   
   activities and products in question.  But it is good to view any such   
   reports with some skepticism.   
      
   This report, in particular, will probably be viewed with a lot of   
   skepticism from the left.  I don't know many of them who don't enjoy their   
   streaming services.
