100 kwh/mo is pretty good. Is your house all electric?

Mine is all electric and I was typically averaging about 90 kwh/mo. It is hard to tell this year since I converted to solar power. I'm generating much more power than I use and solar power is offsetting most all my daytime use, so my meter is basically just indicating my nighttime use plus the rare times when I'm using more during the daytime than I'm generating, like when it is raining or I'm running my clothes dryer.

Too bad more don't have such low power use. I feel most of the electricity used in this country is simply wasted due to ignorance or laziness. I feel most households could cut their electric use in half with negligible change to lifestyles or comfort if they just put a little effort into it. But that is not going to happen unless rates dramatically rise.
