Yeah, I'm in the US--specifically, Florida--where we have some very
cheap electricity.  Some states, like California, have much higher
costs--like $0.31/kWh or so.

Technically, I pay $0.10/kWh for the first 1000kWh/mo and $0.12/kWh for
the amount above 1000kWh/mo, so it's a little bit higher if I go over
1000kWh, but it's still cheap.  It wasn't that long ago that I was
paying $0.085/kWh (up until the big oil price run up).  The low cost is
why I'm still running Myth backends 24/7 instead of shutting them
down--it allows me to not worry about a failed/missed boot.
