the Dub R-bows vs. the G-M-N-T

The Energy game show went on the road again and today it was played by the HS Eco-team at their weekly meeting.  It was The "Double Rainbows" verses the "Green-age Mutant Ninja Turtles." The students were almost flawless with their answers only being tripped up by a microwave oven question.
So I shall pose it here for you to ponder:

How much energy does a microwave use compared to a conventional oven?

A) They use the same amount of energy.
B) 15% less energy.
C) 50% less energy.
D) A microwave actually uses more energy.

Scroll down for the answer...


















C) Microwaves use 50% less energy compared to a conventional oven.

Just a little food for thought.
