Talk about wasted oil imports, or coal or CO2 how about this.

I just check my power usage on my entertainment center with a new power
gadget.

Sitting idle, turned off, not in use my tv, dvd player, satillite DVR,
and stereo are burning 40 watts. 40 Watts TURNED OFF! Takes 150 watts
turned on.

That adds up to .55 cents a day, $16.79 a month, $201.48 a year. That's
real money.

If my light bill is $36.00 a month, by unplugging the power strip my
bill drops to $20.00 a month.

Think of all the entertainment systems in the country!? .37 KWH times
200,000,000; that's 74 million KWH!!!!

We are certainly not trying to save energy by manufacturing devices that
consume power when turned off. It's Nuts!
