Vampire Power Consumption

Either way, I'm not going to the trouble of unplugging my TV everyday, it ****s with my cable.

It's ok. They'll just time travel to the Lost island and be involved in wacky experiments

Yepyep.

I still leave my laptop running.

I leave my computer on 24/7 and not in standby mode, either.

Take that you ****ing ice caps!

My computer ran for two years straight. But I am not torrenting anymore and I like silence at night, I just have to unplug everything, I have to be sure there isn't any high pitch noise, which I hate.

If it's that big of an issue they should make chargers that turn themselves 'OFF' when they are not charging anything. A cheap 1 cent sensor will accomplish that perfectly fine. Oh wait.. that's what my chargers do.. nm... Duh.... No need to unplug all 900,000 of them.

Why do they leave all this up to the consumer? Give us green stuff at affordable prices and we'll gladly save the planet, give us stuff that's bad for the environment at affordable prices and we'll screw the planet... either way, the root of the problem is not the consumer, but the unwillingness of the manufacturers to provide us with what we need to keep the planet safe.

Or maybe the unlikely premise that "green stuff" is at the same price level as "bad stuff". There's a reason why switching to green tech isn't a given.
