Want to get one of those whole house electricity usage monitors, the type
that you attatch to the meter tails, tho i have seen more and more of the
type with a photo diode that you place over the led on the meters that flash
a red led to indicate the power usage (some weird rate of 800 times per kwh
used apparantly)

but knowing what current i'm using would be handy to me rather than just
cost,

i've read that some arent that accurate, obviousely some better than others,
but searching through the available ones, it seems they are more interested
in showing you how much your killing the planet rather than the money you
are spending in doing so.

are there any of these monitors that dont have any of the hippy type tree

i'm not interested in how much co2 im producing, i just want to see what it
costs me to run this place and how much power i'm pulling in doing so,
i will try to reduce the power usage but only so i can afford more diesel
