I checked with a Kill-a-Watt.

My 37-inch LCD uses no measurable amount of electricity when off and less than half what my 27-inch CRT did when it's on.

It does take awhile longer to power up, but I can deal with the startup time given the massive improvement in picture quality and the power savings.

Well that is good news then. Perhaps it is only Plasmas that use more power.
