alarm clock that are plugged in 24/7 consuming only a few watts but doing so all the time. Do the math

Okay, I did. The first alarm clock with power consumption statistics I came across on the web claimed 4.5W. That's a consumption of 3.24kWh per month. Using 11¢ per kWh, which seems about average, based on our price for electricity thread a few weeks ago, that's 36¢ per month to run that alarm clock.

I'm going to have to confess to not running home to unplug it.
