i hear ya...the plasma i ended up getting uses 550w i believe and the DLP i was considering also uses 350w. Now, what's 200 extra watts gonna do to my electric bil. Not a lot.
Having said that, my concerns with energy usage were twofold...conservation and $$$. I try to take conservation into consideration when i shop for something that needs external power sources. It was obviously one of the minor issues i had with plasmas cause i ended up getting the plasma anyway.

Watts consumed must be multiplied by time to get a usable value of consumption. 200 watts for 8 hours/day gets 1.6 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Figure about 15 cents/kWh.
