Well the taxes end up going back to people there atleast.

$.063 is 6.3 Cents a kWh.. if you are paying $1 something is a bit wrong paws, better check again.
Blackcube: What kind of fuel source do you guys use for electricity there? Not sure if they use nuclear here or natural gas. Makes a big difference, if they use oil for generation then I can see the prices being higher.
Fuel Usage From Most Common to Least Common:

1. Natural Gas

2. Lignite Coal

3. Nuclear

4. Wind

5. Hydroelectric

They were going to build 8 new coal plants but have scrapped plans to build five of them. I wish they would build more reactors. We only have three nuke plants on line with two generating units each. I wish they would build a dozen more. We have the space.

Power in Wisconsin is probably cheaper though...
A farm, in Wisconsin. Do you make cheese?
Nope, we just milk cows. The cheese plant does that.

The last time I checked we are paying $0.113 per kWh.
We are at about 8 cents per kWh. It was 6, but it went up about two years ago.

I just had a friend who moved back to Eagle River from Dallas and he was amazed at the cost of power and the high property taxes here. I drove his Denali to Eagle River in August for him. I was amazed at the lack of Blue Laws in WI. I stopped in at a C-Store to buy ice and was struck by the fact you could but liquor on Sunday.

It was gorgeous weather in Eagle River in August but I wouldn't want to be there now.

I should have called Mark last night to make a bet on tonights football game. He grew up in Green Bay. Having lived within 60 miles of Dallas all my life, we teased each other about football constantly.

Yeah, its not the place to be right now. We currently have 15 degrees with about a 35 mph wind. Brrrrrrrr... Cuts right through ya.

Northeast of Dallas it's 42, no wind to speak of and will be in the low 60's this afternoon. This will last today and tomorrow then we'll return to our usual December temps of low 70's with a morning lows in the 50's.

We'll get real winter weather in January or February. Last year we only had a few days of temps below freezing and we had a dusting of snow twice. Of course a little sleet or a dusting of snow will totally paralyze Dallas drivers.

Nice score! I found a freebie listed on Craigslist once, but the woud-be donor didn't return calls.

During the summer months, my electricity bills are usually well below $20/month, but it was a pretty hot and miserable summer! Some days, even a single compact fluorescent lamp felt like it was radiating too much heat, so for my winter project, I should get some LED lighting going.
