A counsel of despair if ever there was one.I can't think of anything I could do with the info to help save energy.
For example, I found with a plug in monitor that my previous toaster used 10W doing nothing at all. When the carriage mechanism started to jam, I decided not to bother attempting to repair it and go straight to a new toaster, because the knowledge that it was wasting so much energy would bug me forever.
The microwave uses 27W if the door is left open [incandescent bulb]. The family have been repeatedly nagged about this and it seems to happen less often, so hopefully some energy has been saved.
If you don't measure, you won't know.
