More Gadgets, More Demand for Power [GRAPH]

NYT: Noah Horowitz, at the Natural Resources Defense Council, calculated that the nation’s gaming consoles, like the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the Sony PlayStation 3, now use about the same amount of electricity each year as San Diego, the ninth-largest city in country.

SHOOT: From the graph the category 'OTHER' is the highest proportion - 24% - of total electricity use. In other words, all those minor activities including video game consoles, charging cellphones, camera batteries, and just tyhe ordinary drain of electronics that are on but not necessarily being used.
