$10 billion is wasted annually in the US due to vampire power, which accounts for 10% of household energy usage. Unplugging unused electronics or using a central power strip can reduce the effects.
It is estimated that $10 billion US dollars (USD) is wasted each year in the United States on vampire power or the energy used by plugged in but turned off electronic devices. Common examples of energy vampires are battery-powered televisions, microwave ovens, electronic chargers, computers, and remote controls. Approximately 10% of the energy used in the average American household is thought to be vampire power and costs more than $100 USD per year for the average household. The effects of energy vampires can be reduced by unplugging unused electronics or using a central power strip that can be turned off when connected devices are not in use.
