Clueless idiots

They have started failing even before they started. It is 'MINIMISE energy consumption' and not MAXIMISE energy consumption. Who on earth wants to maximise his energy consumption? Do these people actually know the difference? Either Prof. Barth and co are clueless or the journalist is half-baked. The alternative phrase is to 'Optimise energy consumption'.
