Default Doorbell always uses electricity!

That's not "insane".

Instead, I PREFER to spend that $2/month rather than have to remember to
close the power strip switch every time I wish to watch TV or use
whatever else is connected to the power strip - that used to be
connected full-time and available without second thought. That is the
price I willingly pay for such convenience.

I also see how such contention of mine does not dispute need
to reduce energy consumption in "more major" areas!

How about "reduce INCREASING energy consumption"?

Conservation will not actually REDUCE the level of consumption. It will
only reduce the INCREASE and, perhaps unfortunately, not by much.

Also, the "need" to reduce is debatable.
