  response to  GOOD magazine's post Vampire Energy

  Questionable source for this article

  I'm an environmentalist, but the numbers on the chart don't add up. Consumer Reports estimates the average household uses about $100/year for standby energy, but then again, when I searched the source for this article, "2005 Intrusive Residential Standby Service Report: Energy Department", it turned up as an Australian study, not an American one. And my call to the magazine was met with less than enthusiasm. I was told I would get a call back, as the person I need to talk to was " just now going in a meeting"...holding breath......

  Environment

  Not so transparent...

  The article about Vampire Energy uses an AUSTRAILIAN energy report, not an American one. How does their energy consumption have anything to do with us...were the dollar amounts even converted to US currency?
