We have all read about what refrigerators do to our environment and what their contribution to environmental damage and global warming is. Refrigerators can speedup the process of global warming and increase the usage of power. The U.K. government has worked with is large companies and in order to reduce the amount of carbon emitted, the refrigerators may be installed with Dynamic Demand Technology which allows for the cutting of power supply to the refrigerators without the user’s knowledge.

This definitely infringes upon the user’s privacy and ways of lifestyle but the British government has an agenda to reduce 200 million tons of carbon being emitted by 2020. However, the government and the companies claim that the refrigerator with Dynamic Demand technology would not alter the taste of the food nor would they automatically defrost food without your knowledge.

How far this development will be successful, can only be assessed when the technology is used in real life. Moreover, consumers may protest about being intruded upon. Thus, we will as usual have to wait and watch to know what the outcomes of this new development will be.
