Bug description:
  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

  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.
  * 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

  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.
