Holy ****, Maynard! Well, at least you have that lovely socialized
medicine and all your streets are safe/free from guns.

I think Mark means about 20 *cents* a kilowatt-hour. d8-)


Bloody French decimal places :-(.

We're still under 7 cents here in the PNW.


If you and Larry are paying $0.50 to $1 for a 25 Watter, then I'm surprised
that incandescent bulbs are still being manufactured!

I still use one over my bed. I dim it in the morning before getting up
to adjust to the lights. Yes, all but one of my CFs so far have been
99 cents each. They're 23W, the 100W incandescent equivalent.
