Vampire Power Loss

Damn, I always get sucked into posting these things from Treehugger... Their posts are right on and provide so much useful information.. So:

Do YOU know what vampire power loss is?

Now we all know that electronic devices vary in their energy efficiency. Some things just cost more to run. Did you know that in addition to their energy consumption while being used, most devices suck electricity when even when they are off.. Completly off...

Here is a nice chart listing the vampirey attributes of devices that we all (er, many of us have). I always wanted to have a plasma screen TV, but man, they are real vampires..


Great news is that there are devices (special garlic scented power strips) that kil vampires dead. Like a steak through the heart- use they to reclaim your devices (and save a ton of $$$ too).
