If I have click to flash installed, will flash still eat up my battery?

I reluctantly installed flash this morning. I've read that it can take 2 hours off your battery life. So here's my question, if I keep "click to flash" installed and don't look at flash, will it still drain my battery? (sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to make sure)

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

Ok I'm going to answer my own question. I looked at the activity monitor with flash running and then with the page closed and the cpu usage for the "flash plugin" went from 25% to 0%.


Unfortunately, it may take a while for the transition from flash to html5 to take place. In the meantime there's always "click to flash".

If I have click to flash installed, will flash still eat up my battery?
