Jim, Thanks for identifying and locating the missing piece (or a very big one, in any event) of the puzzle. The CEA-commissioned report on consumer equipment power consumption is certainly intimidating at first blush. It will take some time to peruse and then drill down to points of interest. I suppose that the 147TWH estimate can be used as a benchmark from which other estimates can be further extrapolated, based on the proportion-of-total data that is found inside. After reading your post I reposted it elsewhere noting: "It will be a while before I'm able to fully appreciate the findings of this report, but merely glancing at the power usage at the sink (147 TW-Hrs for home CE devices and gadgets alone) causes one to wonder about the corresponding generation implications at the source, and all of the intervening transport stations (COs, HeadEnds, Repeater Huts, pole mounts, etc.) along the way."

Jim, to add to the CEA power consumption report by TIAX that you posted to the board earlier, our good friend Fredg posted the following to the Cook Report list today: The January, 2002 report "Energy Consumption by Office and Telecommunications Equipment in Commercial Buildings:" Volume I: Energy Consumption Baseline: eere.energy.gov Volume 2: Energy Saving Potential: eere.energy.gov The residential report, US Residential Information Technology Energy Consumption in 2005 and 2010, from March 2006, is at tiaxllc.com --- Now I know that the 2010 report must really have curiosity up ;) FAC ----
