Power vampires!

Do you have vampires in your house? Electricity vampires, that is. Vampires include TVs, VCRs, ipods, cell phone chargers, stereos, computers, and anything with a remote or a clock display. These are using electricity ALL the time. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that these devices account for 5% of all residential power consumption. To rid your home of vampires, unplug these devices when not is use. Or plug them into a power strip that you can turn off with the flip of a switch.
