The PC Energy report revealed that nearly half of all corporate PCs in the US are not regularly switched off at night. This adds up to approximately 108 million work PCs being left switched on overnight costing US businesses in the region of $2.8 billion in energy costs. In terms of carbon emissions this equates to approximately 20 million tons, roughly the equivalent impact of 4 million cars.<ref name="Report2">{{cite web |url=http://www.1e.com/EnergyCampaign/downloads/PC_EnergyReport2009-US.pdf |title=PC Energy Report 2009 US |accessdate=2010-01-06 |work=1E |date=2009-03-25 |publisher=Harris Interactive |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100705035121/http://www.1e.com/EnergyCampaign/downloads/PC_EnergyReport2009-US.pdf |archive-date=2010-07-05 |dead-url=yes |df= }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=Report From 1E and the Alliance to Save Energy Finds That Organizations Waste Billions of Dollars Running Idle Computers | publisher=Alliance to Save Energy |date=2009-03-25 | url=http://ase.org/news/report-1e-and-alliance-save-energy-finds-organizations-waste-billions-dollars-running-idle }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Study: U.S. Companies waste $2.8 Billion Annually to Power Idle PCs |url=http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/03/25/study(contracted; show full)==References==
