"Plasma sets can use up to four times as much electricity as the old-style cathode-ray tube models." "Last year consumer electronics used the equivalent of 18 terawatt hours - equivalent to the annual output from five standard power stations, and amounting to 30 per cent of the country's total domestic electricity consumption. The Department for the Environment estimates this could rise to 31 terawatt hours by 2010, mainly due to the rise in the number of TVs, demand for bigger screens and set-top boxes." » original news
