oblivion 5 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anyone here leave tvs and other things on standby? Britons waste the equivalent of around two power stations worth of electricity each year by leaving TV sets and other gadgets on standby. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4620350.stm Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yes, it seems we're going to destroy our future because a) we won't elect people who will force us to turn our crap off when we're not using it, and we don't have the discipline to do it ourselves. It's a pity really. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Tv in my office is almost constantly on standby - even overnight. I get some looks when I turn the thing off after I have finished watching as if to say "what you doin' then?" Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 my crap is unplugged at my place until I use it - except for my Ipod and Fridge... Oh and my Toyu stove is plugged in during the winter. Link to post Share on other sites
