The Results of Our Home Electric Conservation Project
1999-2003

1999
9800 KWh = 26.8 KWh/day X $0.11/KWh = $2.95/day = $1076/year

2000
9586 KWh = 26.3 KWh/day X $0.11/KWh = $2.90/day = $1058/year

2001
9027 KWh = 24.7 KWh/day X $0.11/KWh = $2.71/day = $989/year

2002
6311 KWh = 17.3 KWh/day X $0.11/KWh = $1.90/day = $693/year

2003
6456 KWh = 17.7 KWh/day X $0.11/KWh = $1.94/day = $708/year

As a result of our little conservation project we are currently saving over $350 a year on our electricity, which we can put into our "Someday Solar" savings program.... And, when that day comes, we can save even more because we will be buying fewer solar panels, because we have reduced our electrical consumption.

What If???

Imagine if you went to the store to buy light bulbs, and there was a little yellow sticker on the side of the box, like they put on the side appliances, stating the operating expenses for the bulb.

Providing this information to the light bulb purchaser would show the consumer that the "cheaper" incandescent bulb turns out to be a lot more expensive in terms of electrical consumption, actually making the "more expensive" compact fluorescent bulb the better economic value.
