yes it does use energy. My straightener uses energy when it is plugged in, but not on. What i have learned to do is unplug all the things that don't need to be plugged in. If u think that something needs to stay plugged in then leave it in but if it doesn't my best advise is to unplug it!

A cell phone charger, even when not charging, draws some power through its transformer. A computer may have a fan that runs, the kitchen range may not be using the burners, but the clock runs, etc.

Will it cost you electricity if you leave your switch on but with no bulb?
No In a standard house lamp, if the bulb is missing the circuit is broken in the same way as if the light switch were off. It is not very safe, however, to leave a lamp like this. A child or pet could complete that circuit easily by touching the two connectors in the socket and receive a very bad shock.

Is it safe to leave a light bulb partially unscrewed?
It would not be dangerous to leave a light bulb partially unscrewed, however, there is some possibility that it will fall out of the socket. I would advise that if you don't want the bulb to be on, and you don't have a light switch, unscrew the bulb completely and put it away until you need it.
Should light switches be turned off every time you leave the room?
You'd be surprised by just how much power people could save by turning off the lights! On average, one light bulb uses sixty watts of energy per hour. Let's say you turn off a certain light for one hour daily. After a year, you'll end up saving over 22,000 watts of energy. Electricity is saved if lights are turned off every time you leave a room for more than a few minute, but the surge of power required to restart the light when it is switched back on may cancel any saving if the light has been turned off for only a few seconds.
