so whats up with you?


In future years I expect massive energy costs increases as
well as a substantial decline in my income. So I want to cut
energy use substantially.
Right now I am trying to find out exactly how much energy each
appliance, etc is using. If I know how much it is using I can
evaluate alternatives.

Then junk the electric and go gas if you can for everything. If you
really want a better idea compare everything by BTUs and cost, you can
figure a conversion cost of BTUs for electric and gas, I am maybe 60%
more per BTU for electric and electricity will always be more than
gas, Now in this heat alot of my electric come from Ng powered
substations.
