Correct, Apple hasn't declared any support for such a standard. Thanks Jake; I was reading my UK sites too early this morning. Fixed. Correct, Apple hasn’t declared any support for such a standard.

Also, its worth noting that Apple are conspicuously absent from today's announcement. Apparently they care more about money than the environment.

Those that are on power-strips get completely shut down when not in use in order to reduce "vampire" drains of electricity. This practice has made a noticeable decrease on our electricity consumption. I have some "smart plugs" on order as well. These are smart power strips. When the "master device" on the plug is shut down, other related devices are shut down as well. Example: a computer could be the master device while a monitor, printer and powered external drive could be secondary. Turn the computer off and the smart power strip turns off juice to all other devices. Oliver, practically all electronics in the entire house are on switches or power-strips.

(which might easily counter any "green" effect you get from your solar charger, though I am certainly no expert on this, but I know that something's keepin' those chargers nice and snuggly warm).
