There is some electronics still active in it. But, it’s so little it’s neglible, both from a cost perspective and from an environmental perspective.

The environmentalists love showing big numbers of how much power is wasted, but remember, any number multiplied by a huge number of units will be a big number. It is still nothing compared to just about everything else in your house using power. The little power it uses is still not wasted, as it will become heat, which cuts down your heating a neglible amount instead.
