Hanging-out ONE load of laundry on a clothes line, rather than use a

Not likely. A computer running 24/7 will use $100-$200 per year of
electricity. If one load of wash cost that much to dry, we'd have
heard about it.


For sure, numbers don't lie. One can rationalize whatever they like but
real data shows something a lot different.
