A Nation of Energy Wasters
The UK has come bottom of a survey of the energy saving habits of European consumers - see the BBC coverage here.
The focus of the coverage as usual is TVs etc left on standby, but it struck me watching Torchwood last night that, although I needed my cable TV box on to see BBC 3, I had my DVD player and video on as well. So I whipped out my funky new energy meter and did a little experiment of my own to see how the balance of electricity works out for different behaviours.
