>A modern-era Energy Star-rated fridge, by comparison, might only use 350 kWh annually. At the same $.10 per kWh price, that's around $.10 a day, $2.9 per month and $35 per year

I admire efficiency a lot but I don’t think digging around in a chest freezer is worth saving $31.50 a year. Others may feel differently.

Assuming half the taxpaying households in the US did that -

80 million x $31.5 = approx $2.5 Billion a year.

Wow. That is something amazing - just goes to show how wasteful our society is.
