Well in my particular situation, Im with
Perdenales Electric Coop which is recovering from a recent class action lawsuit. That probably has more to do with the raised rates than me changing my light bulbs
Thanks for the power saving advice so far guys.
I turned down the settings on the freezer from
totally frozen to just
sort-of frozen. We'll see how that works.
Found a good deal for a 14" LCD on amazon.com
Im also getting an electronic thermostat The idea of having my home automatically cool itself down in preparation for my arrival is just too awesome. I am huge gadget whore too.
If all goes well 2 years from now, I should have enough credit built up to get a home loan. Then its time for solar baby!
I don't plan on my future house being completely off-grid, but two or three panels should significantly lower the bill.
Not to get too off topic here, but I really hope the govt or a company like BP will invest serious $$ in femtosecond laser technology to make 100% solar powered cities a reality.
