We were told in our wind and solar power classes that the average house used 900kwh per month, mine is around 400kwh for 3 people in the winter with an electric stove and electric hot water heater and some big fans on our furnace that run alot.

So I sez to the guy next to me I sez, "does that sound right?" and he sez "I average 1300/mo". But then he went on to explain that he has two color TVs going 24/7... oh, and wunna them $400 magic electric space heaters...
