By the way, it's kinda pointless to debate this among ourselves, basing arguments on own personal habits: surely at least 95% of DSLR readers are among the 15% of people who don't care about electric bills, at least to the tune of a couple dollars a month. I ask that you think about computer usage at a relative or friend's house the last time you visited them
Actually I do care hence 100% of my home lighting is compact florescent, and water heater is automated. These are important users of energy. I can turn on EVERY light in the house and still only be using under 400 watts. Current monitor is also Energy Star, so does shut down.
Also the computers of average relatives/friends may well stay on more (the old turning off is bad for it myth...and then wonder why Windows comes to a crawl  ) Most of them also still use 400% more expensive to operate incandescent bulbs (which also create a lot more heat, not good in the summer).
