Utah's phone charger energy myth

Leaving your phone charger plugged in all day might not be the energy drain you think. In Utah, most modern chargers use minimal power when idle, costing just pennies annually. However, older chargers, especially for power tools, can be surprisingly wasteful. While unplugging can extend a charger's life, mishandling cords is often more damaging. If you're aiming to cut down on your electric bill, focus on larger appliances like TVs or older devices. What are your thoughts on unplugging chargers?
