We wanted to see whether adapting BBC content could make use of these features and reduce energy consumption.

The best way to improve energy use in the longer term - is for the #BBC to join those on the right side of history.

Stop supporting fossil fuel industries, politicians or the public, by proxy (e.g., stop reporting their non-science rhetoric without critical evaluation)

Either that or just turn the BBC, ITV, etc, off & read a science publication.
