With 1.0.5, all radiator panels now draw electricity while they're "active".

It makes sense that an active part needs electricity when running. Spotlights, for example, drain electricity while they're on.

Unfortunately, the static radiator panels are active all the time. There's no way to turn them off. This means that they're draining lots of electricity, all the time, even when there's not any heat to drain and no radiator services are required.

This isn't a problem for the folding panels, because retracting them turns them off (they stop cooling, and they also stop drawing electricity). But there's no way to turn off the static panels.

The static panels should have a way to turn them off. Give them a status of "Active" or "Inactive", and give them a right-click button for toggling, and make it possible to add them to action groups to do this.
