Re: The Need For Speed
"4.38 kWh of electricity a year.....£0.81 a year, or less than 2p a week, for not having a standby button."
Now multiply that by (my guess), 40 million TVs in the UK. 175GWh per year or 20GW generating capacity. Now we starting to look at the equivalent of an entire power station, just to keep TVs on standby. Now add in all the other devices left on standby, not to mention all the phone chargers and the like the many people tend to leave plugged in and switched on 24/7, even when not being used.
