Political Factoid

Those "set-up boxes"
[which are forced upon consumers
by Comcast and other large, greedy
communications monopolies*]

"waste some $2 billion a year
in energy ... when consumers
aren't even using them."
  --  Noah Horowitz,
Natural Resources Defense Council
 
The boxes typically consume more
electricity than refrigerators or even
large screen TVs.

 
* Or oligarchies, in some markets.
