Niba: When's the last time you unplugged your TV?
TVs, computers, and other electronics have standby and sleep settings so that you can use them at a moment's notice, but that keeps electricity flowing. And that idle energy could account for almost 1/4 of your home's energy bills.
Having your tech plugged in and in idle mode means that some electricity is always flowing, even when you think it's turned off. If everyone in the US powered down and unplugged electronics when we're not using them, we could shut down between 21-50 power plants and save $4-19 billion annually. And that's just in the US.
So, good news: the device you're watching this on right now could be a part of the solution. On average, laptops draw about 7.1 watts of idle power and TVs can draw 13. If we unplug that stuff or plug it into smart power strips, we could use the electricity to power all the homes in Arizona and Alabama all year. And slow down the global climate crisis.
