Leaking Electricity

Well I knew that many electrical devices consume energy even when turned off (some up to 40% of their active energy use!) And now the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory has compiled a chart of various devices and the amount of energy they use while in standby mode. It seems like audio compact systems, cable boxes, and tv's are the biggest culprits...may I suggest unplugging these when not in use?
