Good point, I agree. The charger for my Pantech uses 3 watts when charging, and doesn't even register (shows 0.0) when the phone isn't attached. That's less than 0.1. Awhile back in the USA they had a commercial campaign on TV encouraging people to unplug their cell phone chargers when not in use. I was like "what"? Surely a campaign to remind people to turn off unused lights would save far more energy if only a few did it, vs. unplugging cell phone chargers at <0.1watts ea. Good point,THX
