  Laudable, but will anyone actually do this?

  Everyone agrees that turning off a power-strip will result in energy savings, but faced with reprogramming their VCR/TV/Tivo/Microwave/(anything else with a clock or memory) EVERY TIME they want to use one of these appliances how many people will actually do this more than once before giving up on this one? There are a few units that can set their clocks automatically, but the majority can not. This seems like a good-hearted intention that just won't be followed through by most. (Possible hi-tech solution that doesn't exist currently: on-board (recyclable! long-lasting!) batteries that retain settings when no external power is applied for all these. Most clock alarms have them....)On Umbra on power strips posted 2 years ago 13 Responses
