From about 3:30pm to 8am (this time of year) we're running on batteries, 
I just turn off the laptops when not using them; besides, when they're 
set up it takes valuable table space.  Our total electric bill for 2015 
was about $10 because there were a few days when I ran the generator.  I 
get to spend the saved electric-bill-money on new toys. <g>

Quite often I hibernate my systems instead of shutting them down, 
because there's enough setup to make it worthwhile.  Too few apps save 
their state when exiting, imo; that's one of the things iceweasel does 
better than it did last year.

That's with a bunch of stuff installed that I don't use... games, office 
stuff, etc.
