That should be "keep them unplugged all year and save ourselves from
having to make many more megawatts of electricity".
And reduce GHG emissions by 0.00001%??? That will really make a
difference! Should save the planet for another couple of days anyway
I guess. :-)
I don't think so. It's a real energy sink; researchers estimate
phantom power as 5 to 10% of household energy usage.
Those researchers - what kindy were they from ? Clearly hadn't learned
basic arithmetic yet....
Their idea of a household doesn't have lights, a fridge, HVAC, or hot water.
