New Energy Star Label - Most Efficient

[submarinesailor]

Yesterday the DOE announced a new category to guide consumers to the top tier of energy-efficient models for such common appliances as TVs and refrigerators.

One of the TVs (from INSIGNIA) that meets the requirements for this label is 23.6" that only cost $4.76 per year - at 5 hours per day at $0.109 per kWh.  Check out some of them at:  http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=most_efficient.me_tvs.

Hey Gary - think one of these would help you out with your battery problem. :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D : : :

Bruce's post reminded me that I intended to inform DirecTV users of power used by the (old) silver receivers. (The newer black receivers have some nice features that make them a better choice.)

I plugged my Kill-a-Watt device in and found that the receiver uses the same amount of electricity whether it is on or off--that is 28 watts. That's about $25 per year at 10¢ per kilowatt.
