Geezzzzzz as if that aint enough power!!!! I'd hate to have to pay that
electric bill. ...

All of our machines run on 440V 3ph. Keeps the wire size down.

I live it when a visitor says "wow, this is a big place, you must make
tons of money". They go into shock when I tell them the electric bill
last month was $30,000, the gas bill was $20,000 but goes up when we
turn the heat on.

Take a look at Alcoa and be thankful for small favors that it's that
small...

2010 _purchased_ electricity consumption was 55,883,973 MWhr; total
corporate direct energy consumption was 278,437,149 MWhr
