Feeling drained? Vampire Energy Can Suck the Life From Your Utility Bill!

Vampire Energy is draining wallets across the nation!  Vampire Energy is energy waste that comes from everyday appliances, like your TV, VCR, microwave, computer monitor, etc., even while they're turned off.  "Vampire Energy Loss" from appliances in standby mode, e.g., the clock on your microwave or a screensaver on your PC monitor, costs over $10/year.  A plasma TV that runs in standby mode an cost a whopping $160.00/year!
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 5% of electricity used in the U.S. goes to standby power, and costs the United States about $4 billion a year.

I've provided 5 tips on reducing Vampire Energy Loss that can be used at home, office, or school. I would like to invite bloggers to further investigate how vampire energy loss can be reduced specifically in our homes.
