Considering that electric rates can vary from about 5½ to 18½ a kWh,
your $1 figure is as accurate as the refrigerator testing.

Define "accurate". I said $1/day is typical and it is for typical electric
pricing. The DOE figures are way off the low end and not typical of
anywhere. Their 10 cents/day figures are fantasy.

Where do they charge 5 cents for a KWH? Iraq? Our fuel surchage alone is
more than 5 cents.
