How To Rent Out Your Basement
The only way to significantly impact your electric bill is to address the things that get hotter, or the things that get colder. Water heaters, home heating, clothes dryer, fridge, freezer, A/C.
In lighting, you can probably see a decent percentage benefit by switching to all CFL lighting. But yeah, leaving a light on for a few hours isn't going to be a major percentage of your bill. Even leakage from chargers / standby devices isn't likely to be significant, at least in comparison to the hot/cold stuff.

I never said Walmart shouldn't refund her money.
I just think it's a really bad idea for people to commit fraud via forgeries. I didn't realize that made me somehow elitist.

Can't tell if you're serious.
First of all, I'm just discussing the law -- which is clear. I make no judgment about whether photographers should, as a moral principle, grant broad releases for others to make copies of photos.
Second, if a photographer is "nothing special" then why would you, or anyone, go to them in the first place? Clearly they had something that you, or others in the market, wanted in order for you to utilize their services.
Third, you basically just critiqued the entire idea of copyright. Which is fine, I'm not saying there aren't legitimate arguments against copyright generally, or our modern system specifically, but please be clear that's what you're doing instead of setting up some strange ad hominem attack against a strawman.

Then she should be aware that, when Walmart is sued for statutory damages by the photography studio, she's accepted potentially six-figure liability.

Because some people are uncomfortable with forgery and fraud?

Man Attempts To Occupy House He Doesn't Own, Uses Claim-Jumper's Defense
Burglary doesn't actually require theft -- different crimes. Burglary is the trespassory breaking and entering of the structure of another with the intent to commit a felony therein. So, for example, you can be charged with burglary for breaking into someone's house with the intent of committing rape. You can be charged with burglary even if nothing is stolen, so long as you intended to steal when you broke in.
