[mythtv-users] [Slightly OT] solar power for all our gadgets

[Jon Bishop]

Well, plus 2 roommates that didn't know how to turn off lights. The  
girlfriend's figured it out finally, and the friend didn't move with  
us, so the problem solved itself. But yes, prices for PGE were very  
high, I've got SMUD now, which is public-owned, so prices are much  
better. I must admit though, I just found an old excel sheet of our  
power usage (I was not happy) that I was doing, and I forgot that  
there was also the addition of a wood stove to factor into the  
savings, the heat pump was used less, and that more likely explains  
the savings. That disappoints me, actually, but nonetheless, the bulbs  
are all still shining bright. So that's comforting. (watch them all  
burn out this month, just to spite me)
