Maximum standby power draw is already required to be lower than 1W for non-networked devices in the EU. My entire house has an idle consumption of ~150W (incl. fridge/freezer)
Yes our total power consumption is up to 25%, our idle consumption is a negligible part of that 25%, and absolutely dwarfed by our active consumption. If you want to make a difference, start working on reducing your active power consumption instead, that’s where our best contributions towards lower energy usage can be done.
By targeting the idle consumption specifically, you’re penny pinching to make yourself feel better without doing an effort.
