Isn't it great to know that you can not "turn the stars off" Stars are there all day long we just can't see them because of the light that sun produces during the day on our side of the planet. The same with the moon, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. As to saving electricity, if you want to save it. Turn off the lights when you leave the room.

The energy output of our sun, which is an average star, is 1.74 x 10^17 kW per minute.
The average number of visible stars in the sky is 1,100. Of course that's a tiny fraction of the stars in our galaxy alone, but we don't know if we turn those other stars off in the daytime because, frankly, they're not visible.
The average length of a day is 12 hours.
So on the average, we save at least 135,000,000,000,000,000 - 135 quadrillion - kilowatt hours each day by turning off the stars during daytime.
Every little bit counts.

Well, my first thought was: Who's reading THAT meter?
If we turned off all the stars during the daytime (might as well since nobody is using them, right?), then we would save enough money to fund the war in Iraq for 2 hours.

Not much...when I turn the stars off, I notice no difference at all in my electricity bill. Usually, I don't turn the stars off...I turn them down if my video card is having trouble.

Surprisingly little. They are actually tiny LED's poking through the vault of heaven, and LED's don't use much juice. They should probably just leave them on all day, then we'd have a pretty, sparkly sky to look at.

Not as much as turning off the sun at night.

This questing is not a smart question.
First of all, you can not turn off a star.
Second, the stars are still shining in the day time, the reason you can't see them is because our Sun is so bright.
Research your questions, before you post them.

38 x 10^24 watts approximately.

well all that depends on a number of factor, if your dog barked less than 10 times the second tuesday of last week, number of lead paint chips your mother fed you on the 31st of february of 1973, also the amount of gold paint you and your retard friend huffed this morning, also the number of 20 pieces you can shove in your anus before the cops arrest you is the biggest factor. the amount of cloud cover is also important. WTF?!?!
