California has declared war on vampires, but this time it's no Hollywood monster flick.So there won't be vampire hunting squads out there trying to eradicate the bloodsuckers, just lawmakers and bureaucrats trying to eliminate phantom power loads. Wouldn't that make them ghostbusters and not vampire hunters?
The state will be the first in the nation to target so-called vampire battery chargers that suck up and waste as much as 60 percent of the electricity they consume. The California Energy Commission voted 3-0 on Thursday to regulate such power-sapping chargers despite objections by consumer product makers.
Oh god
I'll admit to occasionally being annoyed that when I turn something OFF its not OFF, not really, there's still lights glowing, and what not. But OMG, I do NOT want to see what regulations they come up with for this!
