What does a kilowatt-hour cost *you*?

About 25 cents (US). It's not just about saving money - energy production
causes pollution, it's about saving our poor planet as well :-)

Yes, but you are basing this on your assumptions. Your math may be correct
but, you are setting up the conditions of the problem which may or may not be
accurate.

Multiply that by millions of households. That seems
Yep, that's about what it costs here in the UK as well.
I'm not convinced that climate change is being caused by people

Oh you'd be surprised. There was an article a while ago in Circuit Cellar

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory did a study* of ten homes in
California and found that between 5% and 25% of the total electrical demand
was to supply equipment that was turned off with standby power.
A fellow might buy a fully-loaded K3 with the savings...

I don't know which unit Lyle is using, but I bought a model P4400 KILL A
