Standby comfortable but energy inefficient
The former ‘green’ theme of energy efficiency has become a household issue in an energy-conscious society. The old filament bulb disappears step by step, and washing machines and dishwashers have become unsaleable without energy-saving programs. But most industrialised societies waste energy on a massive scale by indulging in comfortable ‘standby mode’ in domestic electronics.
