Well, if we are going to talk about tone, the tone in that sentence
is more arrogant than I want to see.<br>

True, but of little concern to most people. Us energy geeks like to
talk about energy, but it ISN'T energy that is important. It is
merely a convenient proxy for things like money, and environmental
harm, that people DO care about. If I could make everyone's house
the perfect temperature, at $10 / year and no environmental impact,
no one would CARE about the energy. And no one would miss the likes
of us going on endlessly about energy. :-)<br>
<br>
For the record, BHE rates for residential customers are $0.09273 /
kWh. So, $20 per month is 215 kWh per month. Seasonal variations,
and a $13.08 minimum monthly charge, may skew that somewhat.<br>
<br>
If there is<i> real</i> interest in the actual numbers, I can
contact my friends as GO logic, and post them here.<br>
<br>
Thank You Kindly,<br>
