    what on earth does electricity cost near you?

    My "rough estimate" calculation has always been: at $0.10 per KWH, one watt used for one year cost $1 100 watts for one year (constantly on) costs $100 At $0.30 per KWH the cost goes to $300 So, 300 divided by 365 is a little less than $1 per day,, (~$0.82?) We sorta agree!! (y)
