I got my first full electricity bill a few days ago. It was shocking. I managed to use 310KWH over the months of August and September. If I were still in Connecticut with their insane $0.26/KWH I would be owing almost $100!
Thankfully, Seattle City Light relies on cheap hydroelectric power. Total charge: $17.40, or a average cost of about $0.056/KWH – that’s generation AND delivery!
So it seems like I’m using about 5KWH a day, or about 200W being used on average. That seems like a lot. I think this also tells me that if I get another computer that I leave on all day it’ll double my electricity bill. Hrm…
Oh… I’d also like to mention that this is my first post using Windows Live Writer. So far it’s a little slow, but it has a nice WYSIWYG and pulls in my tags. Neat.
