That&#039;s a good point, Daniel. It doesn&#039;t add up to a huge monthly expense for individual households. But when you look at small lifestyle changes that could add up to make a big difference in our overall energy consumption as a country, I don&#039;t think we can ignore the significance of these numbers. It&#039;s a pretty silly thing to be sucking up so much energy, so why not find a way to reduce it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m all for energy efficiency, but this really isn&#039;t that expensive at all.

They say the US spends $3 bil/yr on this.   With 65 mil households in the US with a cable box in 2008*, each household on average spends $3.85/month on it.  I&#039;m perfectly willing to pay that much for the luxury of instant TV and updated guides.
