I ran across some interesting data from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory the other day describing how much energy we/I waste when appliances are not in use, but remain plugged in with those little red or green "on" lights illuminated.
I've seen these charts before, but this time I saved it.
Some examples:
Mobile charger: 0.26 watts.
Coffee maker: 1.14 w.
Computer printer: 1.26 w.
Microwave oven: 3.08 w.
Cable modem: 3.85 w.
Fax machine: 5.31 w.
Subwoofer: 10.7 w.
Laptop computer: 15.77 w.
Cable box with DVR: 43.36 w.
Now multiply all these devices by the millions and billions owned here and abroad and you get a sense of how much electricity and generating power we waste everyday.
Need more info.
