Excerpt:

Everyone knows to turn off lights when you leave a room or to turn off the TV when you're done watching it. That's a good start, but did you know you're still wasting electricity every month? You can easily trim $100 or more off of your bill each year. All you have to do is slay your vampire electronics. These spooky electronics are sucking energy all over your home right now. Unlike the fanged, nocturnal creatures of horror films, energy vampires work day and night to drain your wallet. It's true that recent electronics are much more energy efficient than their predecessors, but everybody also has a lot more gadgets than they did 10 years ago. Nationwide, idle gadgets collectively consume more than 100 billion kilowatt hours of electricity each year. That adds up to an extra $10 billion in energy costs, according to the EPA.
