Because standby no longer utilises any power.

He means "leaving things on standby kills the environment"
but has phrased it atrociously.

Yes I know, it's perfecetly clear the way he phrased it.
I'm stating that it's no longer true.

Really?
Do they no longer use power? I actually didn't know that.

Milliwatts on most modern devices, if that.

He's wrong,
but new standby modes on goods are designed to be tiny amounts of power.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 19 Jun 2013, 14:48, Reply)

How do these tiny amounts of power scale up when you consider the number of devices in the average home now and multiply it by the population?

There will be someone along in a minute to make me a disappointing cup of tea.

I might make a cup of coffee.
To compensate for the fact that my air conditioner is making a racket and the room is now almost chilly.

My office has never been less than about 20 degrees even in the middle of winter.
I was coming to work in a ski jacket and then working all day in a T-Shirt.

This building makes no sense.

this building is good as i have my own air con in my office
but the previous firm was open plan. people around the edges under the vents froze; people in the middle boiled.
