Because all the numbers are of the "it depends" variety. For example a Plasma-tv that is plugged in, but on standby, consumes anything between 20W and 0.1W, so the number given cannot even be considered to be "in the ballpark". In a year, it'll consume somewhere between 0.8Kwh, and 175 Kwh. That information is worse than useless. The only cure is to read the specs before purchasing new equipment, and if you're curious about older equipment you have, either plug it out just in case, or just a power-meter to measure how much it's actually consuming.

Though I don't yet have a Plasma TV, what are some options for preventing the energy waste other than unplugging? I saw this in Good also.
