It depends on your computer how energy efficient it is. The best thing to do is to measure it with an electricity monitor. Some of them can even project the actual costs for you. An electricity monitor is inexpensive and can help you save a fair amount of money in your electricity bills.

∙ 13y agoSay electricity costs $0.15 per kWH. Which means if you leave something that's 1,000 watts ( or ten 100W light bulbs) on for one hour you pay 15 cents. So figure out the total wattage of all lights you turn off and divide by 1,000 to get kilowatts. multiply that by the number of hours they will be off and then multiply by your rate $0.XX per kWh.

How do we use electricity?
We use electricity in many home appliances such as toasters, TV, stove, oven etc. Without electricity, we wouldn't have much fun and we'd have to cook on logs like the pioneers!We use electricity in many things in our homes: electric lights, home appliances such as toaster, microwave, fridge, tv, washer, dryer, etc.Also we use electricity in our cars (and trucks) which need the electricity stored in on-board batteries. The battery is used to supply electricity to the starter motor which first makes the engine turn so that it can run on its own fuel (gas or diesel). Electricity is then used to recharge the battery, to drive the fuel pumps - which supply the engine with more fuel from the fuel tank - to power the lights, etc.

Does standby affect global warming?
Yes, every bit of electricity you use adds to global warming, unless it comes from renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, etc). Standby devices are estimated to be 10% of your power bill. So turning your gadgets off at the wall will lower your power bills, but won't do much to stop global warming (unless everyone in the world is doing the same). The best way to fix global warming is to elect governments with the will to act.

Can you save money when shutting off the lights?
Turning off the lights does not actually save energy; energy not burned by the lights is simply run into the ground. It will save you $$, but not save energy. However, turning off the lights does send a market signal to electricity producers, informing them that current electricity production is too high (because it is being wasted) and decreasing future loads.Conserve energy? It completely stops the use of it. How much more can you conserve?update: Hopefully the person above is taking their own advice and not voting or reproducing :-) "It completely stops the use of [energy]?" No, it stops your use of it, but the energy company still burns it if you don't use it. Only when we stop using it on a large scale does the energy company not produce as much, and we then save. Turning off that light right now? Earth hour? Not saving the planet or any energy. Only if we do it ALL THE TIME.

How much electricity is wasted everyday?
Across the world it would be very hard to put a number to that question. Also, there are different forms of 'waste', depending how you view it. There's transmission losses, and there's people leaving things on standby, or forgetting to turn off lights, and then there's advertising signs - are they useful or a waste? So, lots to think about.
