Minor post here but I just noticed that my response to a story about reducing energy consumption was picked up in another story on ComputerWorld. Too cool!
In sum, we switched to an insulated carafe coffee maker because we discovered that leaving a coffee maker on to keep the coffee in the carafe warm takes about 1,000 watts of electricity. That's nearly as much as a hair dryer or a space heater! Of course, coffee that hasn't been burnt by a 1,000 watt warming plate for an hour tends to taste better too.

Way to go Aron! I am surprised this isn't mentioned more when people talk about reducing their energy consumption.
