Scope and reduction Part II

Our energy consumption - is partly due to inefficiency.

One of those inefficienies is regarding transformer power-supplies. If if they are not plugged in to anything or the item they are plugged in to is not in use - turns out that many of them continue to draw power.

A simple mandate that all transformers for electronic devices - not draw power when they are not plugged in to a device or when that device is turned off - would reduce our power draw - and in the end our consumption of fuels to create electricity and the corresponding pollution created by consuming those fuels.

But once again, this kind of thing does not work - unless the entire industry complies - and typically the industry does not comply unless there is a governmental mandate that they must make transformers that do not draw power when they are not feeding an electronic object power is created.
