Nintendo ranks first… in energy wastage, again

Nintendo has a very black thumb indeed according to Greenpeace

Greenpeace has just released its latest ‘Guide to Greener Electronics’ report that ranks the top 18 technology manufacturers according to their energy efficiency.

The report ranks the manufacturers of personal computers, mobile phones, TVs, and games consoles according to their policies on toxic chemicals, recycling, and climate change. It should be noted that the information Greenpeace receives from the companies can sometimes be limited, and therefore may not give a complete picture of each companys performance.

Sadly, Nintendo was the worst performer with a score of 1.4, due to the fact that Nintendo has increased its output of greenhouse gasses and that Nintendo doesnt hand over all of their environmental data. Since Nintendo doesnt pass this data on Greenpeace just fills in the gaps, making an incorrect and biased report. The total list is below.

1. Nokia – 7.5
2. Samsung – 6.9
3. Sony Ericsson – 6.5
4. Philips – 5.9
5. Toshiba – 5.7
6. Motorola – 5.3
7. Sharp – 5.1
8. Sony – 5.1
9. Apple – 4.9
10. Panasonic – 4.9
11. LG Electronics – 4.7
12. Dell – 4.7
13. Acer – 4.7
14. HP – 4.5
15. Microsoft – 2.7
16. Fujitsu – 2.7
17. Lenovo – 2.5
18. Nintendo – 1.4
