Jedinite24,
Another way to look at what Auxetophone pointed out is to consider an hourly vs yearly cost.
My Pass monos draw 300 watts each. I pay a total of 13 cents for every 1000 watts I consume. So 600 watts (both monos together) cost me a little less than 8 cents per hour. My listening sessions usually last a couple hours and if I take breaks during it, the amps may be on for 5 or 6 hours. So my enjoyment cost me 40 to 50 cents for that 5-6 hour session. Your 200-300 watt draw would probably cost you less than a nickel an hour.
If you can find something/anything that can entertain you for less than a nickel an hour go for it. I like the idea of helping the planet.
