$500 power bill yikes!

[STMahlberg]

If you would just install $50,000 worth of solar panel, you could run those computers for free! You know, free power from the Sun. Go green!

Yeha go green and feel like Hulk

My landlord charges me directly for my power.
No matter how much power I use, he charges me $0.30/Kwh. My highest usage on record was 1057Kw for the month of May 15th to June 15th. This produced a bill of $317. Last month was 953Kw for $285. Meanwhile a friend of mine that lives just five miles away is paying less than $60/month while living in a regular full size house with all the amenities. He's not a cruncher however, so he doesn't have boxes running 24/7 like me.

My house is 240 SqF. I have a dorm size frige, microwave and two computers running 24/7. Propane for the stove and water heater. That runs me at the rate of about the current gasoline prices and the tank is 150gal. They come to fill it once a year and last time is was over $300. The year before it was over $400 and I have to pay that all at once within 10 days or the landlord gets pissy about it. I don't usually have 300 or 400 bucks just laying around and I never know when they are going to come fill the thing. They just show up one day and I find the bill hanging on my doorknob.

I do, but propane, I don't think, is any more dangerous than natural gas. I've never had an issue with it anyway.

Hey Yo, I know that you and all of us I am sure are trying to conserve power, but did you have to turn off the lights on your Avatar as well? That bum is a lot darker than before...

[Fire$torm]

I turned up the lights...

Yeah, I noticed it looked a little dark but I haven't changed it in any way, so I don't know why it should have changed.
