Default Electronic ads on the tube - good idea enviromentally?

LUL seem to be falling in love with electronic ads , whether they be
the LCD monitor type such as all the way up the main escalators at
Tottenham court road or the projection type being tried out at Euston.
An article in the metrotravel section in Metro today wibbles on about
how it'll save lots of stuff from going to landfill but surely the
extra electricty used will more than outweigh any small advantages
gained from no paper waste?

I thought that Blair had made LUL pass responsibility for tube
advertising over to another company - wouldn't it be the external
company that's so in love with electronic ads?

I personally think they are an absolutely appalling idea - its bad
enough being assaulted with television adverts, and adverts on the
piped music in tesco. At least paper adverts are more passive.
