My wife and I use about 300 KWH per month.

That means we use about a third of the average home. It's not hard. Use compact fluorecent lights, turn off lights when not in room, unplug items when you don't use them.

We aren't exactly off the grid or anything, but I like not paying too much for electricity.

We had our bill at just over $30 monthly. It is about $36 now that we pay for renewable power.

At least if I leave a light on, it's coming from a windmill instead of a coal plant.
