I wonder why telecommuting hasn't been more widely encouraged as an obvious strategy in the developing energy crisis? I know that thousands of folks drive, often extended distances, to occupy a cubicle and perform tasks that could just as easily, and probably more efficiently, be performed from their home computer. This is such an obvious tactic in the reduction of energy consumption, it should be promoted by both industry and government. The cost savings in fuel are matched by reductions in infrastructure and plant facilities. The savings of time and stress reduction for individuals are also of significant benefit. Near as I can figure, the major drawbacks would be the requirement for managers to figure out how to actually manage output. As opposed to the current approach of managing input. Making sure folks clock in on time and sit at their desks as opposed to doing anything measurably constructive.
