You are referring to what we in the electric utlity business call "Phantom Load" and is a real issue for meeting increasing electricity demand in the future.
BTW - Just wanted to let you know I heard you speak last night (In Jax) & enjoyed it, especially your point on having reslove.
Good luck this year at Hawaii!
