Does anyone have numbers for Front Projection power usage vs other TV's?

I was looking at comparisons for power usage of HDTVs and am having a hard time finding numbers for front projectors. Does anyone know how they compare?

Here a are a few lists I found comparing HDTVs:

It looks like LCD's are best in smaller sizes, but RPs eventually become better as size increases. I'm really only interested in the power on scenario.

Thanks

I don't know that I've ever seen that asked before in consideration of a system. Oh there are urben legand about things like Plasma's costing $1,000's more per year to operate, but they are false.

I would be surprised if any of them use enough more power then any other one to really put it at the top of your comparison or priority list.

Yeah, I'm not really concerned about the money, it's more of a curiosity thing. (mainly thinking about setting up a theater that is off the grid in case we get hit by a Red Dawn scenario )
