A list in scare tactics, that is.... some items require you to leave them on standby, like set top boxes, otherwise they don't get updates. New energy saving bulbs are costly, in lifespan and money, if you constantly swith them on and off, they are only efficient if left on and warmed up, constantly switching them on and off reduce their lifespan.

Next, they will be telling us, that when we don't have our heating on, we should turn our boilers off, turn off engines when stationary too, close all windows and doors if you got the heating on.

Rather than keeping hitting us, maybe, if they offered you solar panels for your roof, and wind turbines, so you can take less from the National Grid, and during the day, when you are not home, put electricity back in to the grid....
