Plasma has come quite a ways in energy usage, and if you want to save energy you can run the TV with a lowered contrast/brightness.
We run ours with a "Picture" (Contrast) set to 0 and Brightness set to 35. Why? Because the eye-searing high contrast settings reduce detail. In fact, with Dish Network SD, when watching the Tennis Channel, I found that a Brightness of like 22 is ideal. I turned it up to 35 simply because we have a window that causes glare.
I'm sure our energy usage isn't very high with these settings and I never heard the fans. The picture is much better than LCD.
