Eliminate Phantom Energy Users
Monday April 21, 2008
Did you know that TV's, DVD players, computers and even toasters continue to consume electricity when they're not in use? It's true. Known as phantom energy users, these items silently add to your electric bill month after month and year after year.
Want to zap 'em? Then, consider replacing your existing surge protectors with Smart Strips, special surge protectors that turn off all power to your electronics when they're not in use. Now that's smart!

I agree these new power savers are great. they have only been around here in the Uk for a short while and are a little expensive but i hope that as they become more popular they will come down in price. Hopefully in the future all eltrical equipment will have them built into the machine.
