As the title says.Make all machines have a option to activate a "speed boost" [using redstone current or a option in machine GUI] at the cost of 4x or more energy per operation and make them overheat {maybe explode?} if they are used with speed boost for too long, like a computer when overclocked.
Then we wouldnt have to make lots of macerators,recyclers... instead make more Generators to supply its energy demand.
