Wow, some of you folks have some pretty scary electric bills.
Mine was $101.95 last month and that's with 8 computers running 24/7. Other than the computers, I try to conserve. I use all CFLs (except the lights I only use once in a blue moon) and the light I use the most is a 4 watt CFL.
This is Michigan so air conditioning isn't a big deal. In fact after looking at my bills, last year in the summer months my bill actually decreased. That's because I was paranoid about the bill being sky high so when I needed AC I shut down most of my computers.
