US electronics turned off use more electricity than all of Italy

It’s definitely not one of those issues you’re willing to do anything about as an individual. I know I’m not putting all my shit on power strips and dealing with that hassle for a few bucks a month off my National Grid bill. But if you make this change at the product manufacturing level you add a tiny cost to the product for a big return. Hell, give the companies a tax incentive so a product with an “auto completely off” mode is the same cost to manufacture as one without it. That’s good government spending for energy conservation right there.
