It 'even worse than today. Everything has a remote control to load a ghost. Think about it. There must be a circuitWaiting inside the alarm received from the remote control. The clocks on VCRs, stoves, microwaves and other appliances are all phantom loads. It cost money.
The way to cure phantom loads is to use the devices to a switched outlet or power strip. Or just drag them. Unplug the toaster, coffee maker, hair dryer, television and some power strips. It 'good that some devices have memory in the IC chip stored inside the unit. If we consider thisUnits, you may lose the information stored. One of the really nice aspects of energy saving is that you decide what you want to save to get. It's up to you to decide if and what, loading ghost leaves, if not with them.
