Panel: First commandment at least, do nothing well!

Abstract

In a recent keynote speech [1], UCB Prof. Randy Katz defined power as the 21st century's most limited, as well as most wasted resource: not only we seem to be unable to generate “greener” power but, at all levels, we seem to be really poor even in making an efficient use of our precious power. We waste while doing things, as well as while doing nothing! “Electronics is sized for peak power consumption, and designed for continuous activity.”
