Maximum standby power draw is already required to be lower than 1W for non-networked devices in the EU. My entire house has an idle consumption of ~150W (incl. fridge/freezer). I know that seems like a lot when every household uses that, but effort/reward-wise, this is not a very efficient place to optimize. Regulating industry is a much better place with significantly higher potential savings.
No. We have to do both. Absolutely industry has to decarbonise - but its a hell of a lot easier to deal with the small contributors to atmospheric carbon, and rather negligent to avoid doing these things ourselves. We as individuals still add up to 25% of carbon across the world. Our driving, our devices, the food and things we buy and consume... And yes it is hard.
Yes our total power consumption is up to 25%, our idle consumption is a negligible part of that 25%, and absolutely dwarfed by our active consumption. If you want to make a difference, start working on reducing your active power consumption instead, that's where our best contributions towards lower energy usage can be done.
By targeting the idle consumption specifically, you're penny pinching to make yourself feel better without doing an effort.
