Subject: powertop: Thinks my laptop uses several kW of power

Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 08:05:03 -0500

Package: powertop
Version: 2.6.1-1
Severity: normal

I started poewrtop on my laptop last night.  It showed normal behavior then,
but when I got back to it this morning, it is showing rather insane levels.

This is a Thinkpad X240 with two batteries that was plugged in to AC
power the whole time, if that matters.
