So, you're feeling pretty green heading into this Holiday season, right? You've replaced all your light fixtures with compact fluorescent light bulbs, bought some energy star compliant appliances, and sent An Inconvenient Truth to all your friends.
Let's hope your friends aren't going to watch that movie on a plasma TV. That would be self-defeating.
If you consider yourself an environmentalist, or at least someone concerned enough with green issues and global warming to change you light bulbs, then you should absolutely not buy a plasma TV. You'll easy eat through all your efficiency gains with just a short amount of TV time, as plasma TVs are extreme energy hogs.
Now, if you just have to have a flat screen, go with an LCD screen. Also, check out the manufacturer's web sites to see how much power they use, so that you can at least buy the most energy efficient TV. If possible, wait a few more years. Manufacturer's are working on this problem.
Soon, I'm hoping to put together a list of the least energy consuming flat screen TVs. However, if you know of such a list, please post a comment with the link.
