I live here in Vegas. And you'd think with the Hoover Dam down the street, the desert sun to generate solar, AND the crazy winds here that we would have cheap ass power.
Nope.
My electric bill in August was $610...and that's with the air conditioning set on 85!!!
This last month has been very mild and we haven't had to run the air or the heat at all. I use fluorescent bulbs in every room. We turn everything off when we leave a room.
And my power bill was still $165!
I do have a giant house with 2 stories...but goddamn this shit is expensive.  |
It's getting worse and worse here too. Sadly the main reason is the green energy initiatives our government put in place like my solar panel. The government pays people over 80 cents a kilowatt to produce energy through solar panels, yet we have such a surplus they literally have to give it away to the US or sell it to them at ridiculous prices like 10 cents a kW .its like they don't know basic math. Actually I just read at one point we were paying Quebec and the us to take away our surplus electricity. All that expense gets added to our bills in ontario. Awful.
