Not like many people check this article, but I think Standby power and Standby mode although two seperate things are also slightly redundant, or could easily become redundant.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dphrag (talk • contribs).

Thanks! I've never done much wiki editing, sort of fun. Added the template. dphrag 16:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Because Standby Power uses up to 5% of total residential electricity use in the U.S. and can be easily reduced in many cases by unplugging an unused appliance or switching it off at a power strip, I would love to see it stay separate (and be expanded), if only to raise awareness about this issue.Sustainableyes 18:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed with last point. In addition Sleep Mode is different mode that more subtly pertains to the behavior or requirements of the device regarding the power consumption as opposed to the power consumption itself. rijksband 0:23, 28 December 2006 (GMT +2)
