In the quest for growing up to be a responsible, frugal adult person, every little bit counts. Lately I have been trying to minimize my electrical bill at home by watching out for leaving lights on in unoccupied rooms, and such. Imagine my horror when I cam across this news piece that tells the tale of how your power can be seeped away under your unsuspecting nose!  Some ‘vampires’ prefer energy over blood.
Picture any appliance that displays a clock while otherwise idle, such as a microwave oven, coffee maker or DVD player. They constantly consume little bits of energy.
Fiends!
