Default Re: Electricity bill

We can't realistically compare our electric bills ("mine's bigger than yours!") because there's lots of variables:

* How big is your house/apartment?
* Where (what part of the country) do you live?
* At what temperature do you maintain in the house? Do you vary this by time of day?
* Is the TV on 24/7?
* Do people in the house leave lights on in rooms they don't use?
* Do you use energy saving light bulbs and appliances?
* Do you unplug appliances when not in use (TV, computer, etc. when you're away for a weekend)?
* Did your electricity company just hike everyone's rates by 38% (that's exactly what happened here on June 1)????
