'Vampire devices' cost UK households 147 a year:

Vampire devices are electronics that drain a surprising amount of power even when they are on standby.
British Gas research indicates households in the UK are spending 3.16bn annually just for the privilege of leaving vampire devices on standby.

Has anyone got any similar figures for their home countries?
