Your TV uses 25 watts on standby?

No, but electricity is 40 cents per kWh.

Well, that's not typical of most of the world, and that's still a lot more watts than something on standby should be using.

[kuschku]

That’s typical for most of the EU. A group of 500 million people. More than the US. Meaning, there are more people unplugging TVs to save money than there people who are able to waste their money on Starbucks coffees.

And if more people are unplugging their TVs to save money than there are people wasting money on Starbucks coffees, then maybe, just maybe, saving 1.20$ per month on a VPS is worth it.

I guess wikipedia needs an update because by its numbers the europe average seems to be half that.
