Jeff Bertolucci for The Saturday Evening Post:
Beware. Your tech gear is costing you money while you sleep. Sure, the stuff looks innocent enough: cable box, HDTV, computer monitor, and sundry other electronic gadgets that consume power even when in “sleep” mode. While their energy-sucking ways may seem harmless, they cost you big bucks over time.
It all adds up.
That’s the “Duh heard ’round the world”. If using the word “vampire” wasn’t enough to make the populace cognizant of the issue, then nothing will.
