RE: Energy use killed plasma

Posted by jedrider on July 29, 2014 at 14:13:41:
I am calculating $10-$20 dollars per month, which per day is trivial, but over an entire year it should be factored into the cost of ownership. Of course, I looked at the power consumption and quickly realized I don't even watch that much TV. However, the average consumer may keep it on a sizable portion of the day, which, of course, I think is ridiculous. In fact, I have a friend who must watch FOX News on two TVs in two rooms at the same time.

Then, some of us pay lower energy costs, but, YES, I do have an agenda: Do you think replacing incandescent light bulbs with LEDs make sense or is it, too, politically motivated?? Now refer back to the first paragraph ;-)
