Energy regulators for electrical outlets.

If slowly feeding electricity into an appliance not in use, or into a computer charging a battery that is fully charged, then electricity is being wasted as it flows through an outlet. the regulator will sense a small enough amount of voltage coming through the outlet that clearly it is going into an object which is not in use. Sending electricity up to the source of the computer batter or the source of the appliance wastes energy as it travels through the cords, back to the outlet and then back to the grid. The regulator will cut the energy off its circulatory path, turning it back into the grid and cutting off the travel time and saving a tiny bit of energy. This could be installed on every outlet at its core, in every house and office in the world. It could work by require a minimum threshold of energy calling from the appliance for electricity to pass through. It will be more expensive up front, but it is not only better for the environment but also likely will pay for itself in saved energy bills in the long run.
