"THE Government is to outlaw standby switches on televisions and video and
DVD players to cut the amount of electricity wasted in the home.
[...]
According to yesterday's Energy Review, standby facilities use 8 per cent
of all domestic electricity.
That takes some swallowing.
ISTR an article I read which postulates that someone in authority has got
the decimal point wrong.
It's a perfect excuse for even more micromanaging interference by the
state.
The cynic in me says that there will be much more electricity wasted as a
consequence of replacing tin solder failures due to the idiotic ROHS
directive.
