The Department of Energy's Geek Tip Is a Hilarious Commercial

In an effort to educate people about energy-saving tips, the Department of Energy has a new website (Lose Your Excuse) and a couple of new, cute commercials with kids demonstrating the facts, like this one, where the young April gets caught in the old "I don't have a cell phone" lie. Oh, and hopefully you already knew the tip — that keeping your cell phone charger plugged in, even not charging, is using energy.
