What Is a Power Strip Actually Saving You? Energy Myths Debunked

If you’ve ever plugged your TV or coffee maker into a power strip thinking you’re saving money on your electric bill, you’re not alone. Power strips are everywhere—under desks, behind TVs, in garages—but how much are they really saving you?

Let’s break down the facts, the myths, and the smarter ways to save on energy in your Texas home.

 The Myth: Power Strips Automatically Reduce Energy Costs

Many people assume that using a power strip helps lower electricity bills. And while that can be true—it’s only the case if you turn the power strip off when you’re not using it.

Here’s the truth:

A power strip by itself doesn’t stop energy use. It just gives you more outlets in one place.

If all the devices plugged into it are left on—or in standby mode—they’re still using electricity, even when you’re not around.

 The Real Energy Hog: Phantom Loads

“Phantom load” (also called “vampire energy”) is the electricity used by devices when they’re plugged in but not actively being used.

Common phantom load culprits:

  • TVs and gaming consoles
  • Coffee makers with clocks or warmers
  • Chargers (even when nothing is charging!)
  • Cable boxes and DVRs
  • Microwaves with digital clocks

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, phantom loads can account for 5% to 10% of your household electricity use. That could mean $50 to $150 a year—just from things that appear to be “off.”

 How Power Strips Can Save You Money

Power strips become energy-savers when you use them to completely shut off power to multiple devices at once. Here’s how to do it right:

 Use a manual on/off power strip

Get in the habit of flipping the switch off when you leave the room or go to bed.

 Plug clusters of electronics together

For example, plug your TV, sound bar, gaming console, and streaming box into one strip so you can turn them all off at once.

 Upgrade to smart power strips

These automatically cut power to devices that go into standby mode—or let you schedule shutoffs via app or voice control.

 Best Places to Use Power Strips in Your Home

  • Living Room: TV, sound system, DVD/streaming players
  • Home Office: Printer, monitor, computer speakers
  • Kitchen: Coffee maker, toaster, microwave
  • Bedroom: Lamps, chargers, smart speakers

 What Not to Plug Into a Power Strip

For safety reasons, avoid plugging major appliances like:

  • Refrigerators
  • Space heaters
  • Air conditioners
  • Microwaves
  • Hair dryers

These high-wattage devices should be plugged directly into wall outlets to avoid overheating the strip or causing electrical hazards.

 The Bottom Line:

Power strips don’t save you money on their own—but used wisely, they can help reduce phantom load and lower your electric bill.

Hey, sports fans,

Another busy week on the softball and baseball diamonds, along with news of some well-deserved postseason accolades for our Lady Roadrunner and Roadrunner basketball players. 

Here’s a quick rundown of the past week’s events, along with what’s coming up next: 

AC Baseball Takes One of Three From Tyler 

After dropping the series opener 14-6 in seven innings Wednesday in Tyler, the Roadrunners rebounded with a 5-3 win over the Apaches in the opener of Saturday’s home doubleheader at Poland Stadium. AC’s Jacob Tanguma and Diesel Gonzalez each drove in a run in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 3-3 tie, and reliever Austin Gaskins finished off his third inning of relief and earn the win by tossing a scoreless seventh inning. Starting pitcher Damon Anthony allowed just two earned runs over his four innings on the mound.

Tyler squeezed out an 8-7 win in the nightcap despite the ‘Runners’ late charge. Cooper Molnes and Ryan Lewis each drove in two runs, while Cole Standley and Mark Henderson added an RBI each. 

The Roadrunners (18-23, 7-14) open this week’s three-game series against Paris College Wednesday at Paris. That game is set for a 3 p.m. start.

The teams then finish off the series on Good Friday with a doubleheader scheduled for a 1 p.m. start at Poland Stadium on the AC campus. 

Lady Roadrunner Softball Falls to Lamar-PA, Blinn

The Lady Roadrunners hit a rough stretch of conference play this week, falling at Lamar State College-Port Arthur by 6-5 and 6-2 scores on Wednesday before suffering an 8-5, 10-9 (nine innings) sweep at home Saturday against Blinn College.

AC’s Izzy Allen blasted her sixth homer of the season in Saturday’s opener against the Lady Bucs, while Katherine Page drove in three runs. 

In the nightcap, AC’s ladies pushed the 2nd place Lady Bucs to extra innings, rallying from a 7-1 deficit to tie the score in the seventh, only to see Blinn tack on three runs in the top of the ninth. 

Emily Zunker finished the game with three RBI, while Emma Flayol and Trinnity Blatz drove in two runs each. 

Following Saturday’s games, the Lady ‘Runners honored Brianna Collazo, Madison Johnson, River Hulsey and Riley Davila on Sophomore Day. 

The Lady ‘Runners (14-30, 7-9) travel to Alvin College on Monday for a doubleheader featuring a 1 p.m. start. AC then hosts Coastal Bend CC on Wednesday, with a twin bill set for an 11 a.m. start because of CCBC’s travel situation.

Texas House Passes Conservative Budget Plan Focused on Tax Relief, Education, and Border Security

By
Rep. Trent Ashby

After 17 hours of debate on the House floor,  the Texas House approved Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is the House’s proposal on how the state should allocate our taxpayer dollars for the next biennium. Throughout the budget debate, lawmakers proposed amendments to the budget, suggesting changes that range from small adjustments to major overhauls of statewide programs. 

While crafting the state budget is a long and arduous process, I believe the budget the Texas House approved late Thursday evening represents a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to addressing our state’s most pressing issues while conservatively remaining $16 billion under the state’s spending limit. 

As I have said before, property tax relief is a top priority for me this session. I was proud to work with my House colleagues throughout the budget-writing process to dedicate a historic investment to help reduce the property tax burden for all Texans. SB 1dedicates $51 billion toward property tax relief, including $11.2 billion more relief than the current biennium.

This budget also prioritizes our public school students and teachers by dedicating $7.7 billion in new K-12 funding, $4.3 billion for teacher pay raises, $400 million for additional school safety upgrades, and $450 million to reduce the cost of health insurance for teachers.

Finally, SB 1 also includes $6.5 billion for Operation Lonestar and our state’s ongoing border security efforts, $2.5 billion for water infrastructure, $1.1 billion to address high-risk security threats and secure Texans’ data, $449 million for nearly 600 new state troopers, $378 million for correctional officer raises, and $240 million for new beds at mental health facilities. 

Overall, I believe the House’s budget proposal reflects a thoughtful and fiscally responsible approach to address the needs of all Texans. From property tax relief to border security, and from historic new public school funding to addressing the infrastructure needs of a rapidly growing state, this bill prioritizes every Texan by dedicating dollars to a wide range of issues while remaining well below our state’s spending limits. 

The mobile office is still on the road again and our district director looks forward to seeing you on April 16 at the Houston County Courthouse Annex in Crockett from 9:30-11:30 am or at the Trinity County Courthouse in Groveton from 1:30-3:30 pm.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office if we can help you in any way. My district office may be reached at (936) 634-2762. Additionally, I welcome you to follow along on my Official Facebook Page, where I will post regular updates on what’s happening in your State Capitol and share information that could be useful to you and your family: https://www.facebook.com/RepTrentAshby/.

Texas A&M Forest Service Leadership Institute Graduates Fifth Cohort

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M Forest Service Leadership Institute’s fifth cohort graduated April 10, 2025, following the completion of its final session in College Station.

The leadership institute offers a constructive and inspiring learning environment, enabling opportunities for personal and professional growth by giving participants access to tools and speakers to strengthen their leadership skills.

“The institute rallies existing and emerging leaders within the fields of natural resources and emergency management to increase their capacity and ability to enact meaningful change throughout Texas,” said Leighton Gibson, Texas A&M Forest Service Marketing and Communications Manager.

The class included 24 nonprofit professionals, fire chiefs, conservation coordinators and business owners from across the state.

“I am so grateful for this opportunity that has challenged and encouraged me,” said Kim Williams, the H. E. Butt Foundation and cohort five graduate. “The speakers, staff and fellow participants created an atmosphere where we each found our strength and voices as leaders.”

The leadership institute offers training and professional development to members of organizations that support the Texas A&M Forest Service mission while building capacity and cohesion within working alliances of other entities who serve our same customers.

Over seven months, the class participated in two, three-day training sessions, monthly lunch and learns, networking opportunities and course activities.

“The institute helped me identify my strengths and taught me that focusing on those is more productive than dwelling on my weaknesses,” said Larry Wilkinson, Spring Fire Department and cohort five graduate. “The instructors facilitated an excellent environment to talk about real leadership issues while offering new ideas and best practices.”

One key to success for the institute is dynamic and engaging speakers. In the final session, participants heard from Dr. Thomas Easley about principles for challenging engagement, Dr. Steven Beebe about conflict resolution, Amy Hays about generational learning and Frank Keck about coaching.  

Each year, the leadership institute aims to continue to grow and support local leaders while increasing the network of natural resource professionals across the state.

Pollen, Catkins, and Allergies

I think the recent rains finally did wash away the pine pollen around my home just north of Lufkin. There for a while, it seemed like there would be no end to it. 

Immediately following the pine pollen was oak pollen. My wife and I are blessed to have several large oak trees around our home. Truth be told, I need to have some cut down are they are too close to the house and in declining health. But the catkins were bothersome this past week.  They were everywhere. 

“Catkins” are the long (about an inch or two) hanging clusters of the male portion of flowers that release pollen and then eventually drop. The oak pollen is carried by wind to fertilize the female flowers on other oaks. This pollination of the female flowers ultimately leads to the development of acorns. 

Last week, while visiting a rancher just south of Lufkin, I noticed that he had five large pecan trees. Looking up high into the branches, I could see the catkins of the pecan tree, signaling to many that spring is officially here. 

Not all trees have catkins and rely upon wind pollination. Think for just a little bit and you can name all kinds of trees that have colorful blooms – redbuds, magnolias, crepe myrtles, dogwoods, mayhaws, and all manner of more traditional fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apples, pears, and more. 

Those trees with showy, colorful flowers are not wind pollinated. They depend on bees, butterflies, and other insects in addition to the occasional bat or other mammal for pollination.  

It’s those plants that don’t show us, or the pollinator insects, their showy blooms that cause us to have the allergies that plague so many of us. 

In addition to some trees, grasses are wind pollinated as well. Think about your lawn. Any flowery blooms that you see in your yard are certainly not from San Augustine, Centipede, Bermuda, or other turfgrass. 

My arch nemesis is ryegrass pollen. The annual ryegrass along the roadways and in my pastures is just about ready to turn its pollen loose and I must be ready with my antihistamine medicine. 

I learned just how much I was affected by ryegrass many years ago while studying a pasture with several types of bermuda hay types. It was late spring and a group I was with was walking a field, stooping over, and literally sticking our heads into the tall, “flowering” ryegrass to determine the growth of Coastal bermuda and several other kinds of bermuda grasses used for hay production. 

In no time, my throat was itching, I had a mild rash on my neck, my eyes were watering, and my nose was manufacturing enough snot to….well, it wasn’t a pretty sight. 

All this to say, that when you see plants blooming with beautiful blooms, don’t blame them for your allergies. Look closely beside them for the plant in bloom that doesn’t have a showy flower. It is those wind -pollinated plants that have pollen drifting all through the air. 

Getting back to those pecans that were in bloom, conventional wisdom says that when pecans bud out, there is no more chance of frost. Whether that is true or not, the tree pollens are certainly diminished at my place and I am looking forward to seeing my vegetable garden start to really get growing. My six tomato plants are already in bloom and the bumblebees are visiting their small, yellow flowers. 

Is Texas Growth Causing Your Power Bill to Climb? Here’s What’s Really Going On

By

If you’ve noticed your electricity bill creeping higher lately, you’re not alone. Many East Texans are asking the same question:
Why are electricity prices going up—and what can I do about it?

The answer isn’t just about inflation or weather. One of the biggest factors behind rising energy costs is something we usually celebrate: Texas is growing fast. And while that growth brings a lot of good things—new jobs, new homes, new businesses—it also brings new pressures to the state’s power grid.

Growth Is Good… Until It Outgrows the Grid

Texas is adding more people and businesses every day. Here in the Forest Country, we feel it too—more homes going up, more folks moving in from out of state, and more businesses setting up shop.

But all that growth means more demand for electricity. And the problem is, our power supply hasn’t quite caught up.

The result?

  • Higher energy prices, especially in the summer
  • A more stressed-out power grid, especially during heatwaves
  • More volatility, which means your rates can swing from month to month

What Else Is Pushing Prices Up?

Growth is a big part of the story—but it’s not the only chapter. Other factors are making things more expensive behind the scenes:

Tariffs on Equipment

Texas imports nearly half of its big power transformers from Mexico. But recent tariffs are making them cost more—and slowing down upgrades to the power grid.

Stock Market Shifts

When Wall Street gets nervous, energy providers raise prices to protect themselves. That can trickle down to your electric bill.

Global Supply Shortages

Materials like copper, steel, and solar panels are harder to get and more expensive, which makes building and maintaining the energy system cost more.

Wild Weather

From Winter Storm Uri to scorching summers, extreme weather events push our grid to the limit and send prices skyrocketing.

So What Can You Do?

You may not be able to stop the growth—but you can protect yourself from the higher costs that come with it.

Here’s how:

  • Consider a fixed-rate electricity plan.
    Locking in your rate now can shield you from future price hikes.
  • Don’t wait for prices to go down.
    The market is showing more signs of going up than dropping.
  • Work with a trusted energy expert who can guide you through your options.

Want to Lock in a Better Rate?

If your electricity contract is ending in the next few months, now’s the time to act. Fixed-rate plans are one of the best ways to gain peace of mind and control over your monthly costs.
