Probably not, but it is protecting the screens of my SBs (at least the
way I have it set up). My SB2 is suffering a little bit of screen burn

Hey guys, I don't know about energy prices in the US, but in Europe it
is damn expensive. So whilst saving the world maybe nice, this is about
my personal energy costs and I like to know how much something costs so
that I can make a conscious decision how to deal with it.

From my memory the SB3 takes around 5W whether idle or playing, slightly

And I agree, 5W is nothing. Thanks for the info.

There is an interesting article in the Los Angeles Times today that says
an alternate view by an increasing number of scientists is just to
accept the fate of a changing world and don't try to stop it. They
argue it is cheaper to adapt than to try to hopelessly change the dim
future.
