A preponderance of folks would most likely answer yes to quite a few of the questions above, and that implies they are using way more energy than they in fact need to. For a fact, a preponderance of patrons are expenses hundreds on electricity they don't even comprehend they are using. As an visual aid, leaving you television set in stand-by mode (when the little red light is on and you can turn it on with the remote) will at all times draw energy and can cost you more than 100 dollars during the course of an entire year.
