so..........
either kill certain circuits or pull all cords and surge surpressors out of the wall when not in use...????
turn the power off at the circuit breaker! and get used to blinking clocks
LOL! No.
Only if you are temporarily generating your own power during a prolonged supply outage.
If you can't afford the electric bill, chances are you can't afford the electric "toys".
But often people do need to be reminded that convenience always has a cost associated with it.
And that waste is not a "virtue".
I "waste" money on my water heater.
My decision, and a convenience I deem personally worth the expense.
But I am aware of the cost/benefit ratio.
I am amazed at the number of people who are clueless.
I shouldn't be...
