An Interesting article

Mary Hunt at Cheapskate Living had an interesting post recently on Great Tips For Cutting Energy Costs.

Nix the Stand-by. Get a power strip with a surge protector and an "on-off switch." Plug televisions, VCR and DVD player into it. Now use its toggle to turn things on and off instead of the ones you have been using. This eliminates the "stand-by power" most appliances draw these days. By doing this, I consistently reduce my power bill by $5 to $10 a month. Kenneth H., Pennsylvania
Very interesting. Take a look at the fuul article.

  1. If you do this, though...you'll cut out the power needed to run things like the Clocks, Timers on VCR's for recording shows, etc...and on the newer TV's, the memory stores the channels. If you kill the power, the channels must be "re-learned".
