Belkin Conserve Surge Protector

Belkin has just released the Conserve – an 8-outlet surge protector which aims to lower energy consumption by doing away with wasteful standby power. While this is supposed to help lower the overall impact on the environment while saving you a fair amount of dimes in the process, I would say an impact could only be noticed if the Conserve was adopted across a wide scale. Having just one person use the Conserve at home will probably not make a dent. The 8 surge-protected outlets consist of half a dozen “switchable” and two “always-on” outlets for easier energy use control. The Belkin Conserve retails for $49.95 each.
