Many appliance use more power "off" than on (collectively).
Uh, cite? No, never mind, the above statement is just pure BS.
If e.g. a PC uses 5 watts "off" and 200 watts "on" it's not rocket
science to figure out what fraction of time it must be used for the
"on" power to equal or exceed the "off" power. I suspect plenty of PC's don't make the cut (or do, but just barely).
Pity the original claim was made about APPLIANCES where thats almost never true.
