** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
  
  Energy star is a standard backed by the US government to set standards for energy use of devices.
  The specification for Operating System settings can be found here:
  http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=revisions.computer_spec
  
  Spec direct link (page 13):
  http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/revisions/downloads/computer/Version5.0_Computer_Spec.pdf
  
  Also to better help understand Energy Star. The Open Suse team actually heavily looked into this, and have a great presentation here:
  http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/34/EnergyStar.pdf
  
  The reason you want to be Energy star compliant:
  
  - Many retailers will not sell machines that are not Energy Star compliant
  - Most Government agencies will not buy hardware solutions that are not Energy Star compliant
  - OEMs are now pushing heavily to have all hardware be Energy Star compliant
-      - The OS software default settings are apart of the Energy Star compliance of machines
+      - The OS software default settings are apart of the Energy Star compliance of machines
  
  There are only two default settings preventing Ubuntu from being energy star compliant:
  * Put display to Sleep within 15 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C
-         - Currently this is set to 30 min. So setting it to 15 or below would fix this.
+         - Currently this is set to 30 min. So setting it to 15 or below would fix this.
  * Activate computer's Sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C.
-         - Currently this is set to never
-         - It is also under stood that this could potentially have user experience impact
+         - Currently this is set to never
+         - It is also under stood that this could potentially have user experience impact
  
- If this is not completely possible (agreed) to do. OEMs whould like to
- have a Energy Star button in Gnome Power Management interface that would
- set settings to be energy star compliant.
+ If both settings cannot be done by deafult.  It has been requested to
+ have an Energy Star button in Gnome Power Management interface that
+ would set settings to be energy star compliant.
