That sounds about right. I saw on the news that a bunch of bureaucrats flew in the PRIVATE JETS and use Limousines to go to the conference and telling us to be green. It is more about money and powers, not about green.

Standby usage is insignificant. My Panasonic plasma uses 0.2W in standby and average 350W in operation. If I leave it on for 5 minutes accidentally, I've used the equivalent of 145 hours of standby power. They're focusing on something that doesn't matter.

I remember hearing about Al Gore's mansion when he started his global warming campaign. Somebody got a hold of his electric bill and it was huge. More than what my house costs.

selling supposed efficient stuff under the guise of saving the planet.but the stuff wont last to give payback of the upfront investment.and worse the stuff dies and goes to the landfill at an accelerated rate.
