We've heard the endless nagging from everywhere to save save save.

But have you noticed? The less we use, the higher the price go?

Now, not only do we 'have to' use less, we're getting charged more for it.

Not to mention having to buy the more expensive bulbs.

And it gets worse, you get charge even more during "peak hours".

So, basically, in order  to save (more than others), you'll have to do all your cooking and laundry and everything in the middle of the night.

 

I really don't see the problem with it. Global energy prices are going to continue to rise as long as power plants are being powered by something thats not in infinite supply. 

 

Do you pay your own electric bill or do your parents still pay it? Last time I checked, my entire house was electric. I have no gas, no propane in my house. My heat comes from electricity, all of my appliances are electric. ELECTRICITY IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GAS, EVEN WITH SHORTAGES. 

 

So what do all of my energy saving bulbs, small solar panels, and custom made solar heaters add up to? A whopping $130/month electric bill in the dead of winter with a foot of snow on the ground. And thats in my 1500 square foot house /w 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family room, walk in closets, kitchen and dining room, and attached 2 car climate controlled garage. I REALLY can't complain about the rewards of trying to save energy when my parents spend $400 /month  on their gas/electric bill in the dead of winter.

830 square foot. 1 floor. 2 people, 2 bedrooms.

My bill came out $142.29 for the month of August.

You know how many games I could have bought with that money!?
