Energy Savings in US?

Why is it that GE is spending so much money telling me at home to shut off my electronics? Of course I'm going to shut off my own electronics. What I want to know is why can't my office shut off their electronics? Why doesn't GE try to persuade all the businesses throughout the US who leave all their electronics and sometimes even the lights on all day and all night. Are these large companies exempt from any type of common sense? I believe no one cares that GE is probably leaving all their workers computers on all night (so they can update) which I believe is a joke. I tried to shut down my computer at work and it wouldn't shut off. I called the HelpDesk -- they told me I could not shut it off so that they can update it (which they do very poorly, by the way). So I said all I wanted to do was save some electricity. The "company's computer guy" told me, very sarcastically, that the pc does not use hardly any electricity. I hung up on him because I know he is an idiot. Multiply that one pc of mine with oh, say 10,000 computers in the building I work in, which is over 25 floors tall and I would like to see how much electricity is wasted by leaving the computers on all night. The building will shut off the lights at 8 p.m. and the heating and air, becauswe they know they will be saving money and I will shut off my lights and other appliances at home because I know I want to save money and not waste it, so why can't all these offices? I don't get it.
