may or not have found a free (limited) electricity hack. as some of you may know, i am VERY strict on utility usage, including electricity use. my electric bill, historically hovers right around $25 year round. could be july. could be january. $25. electric ovens. electric. heat. all electric. $25. and that's for 0.10$ per kwh from my supplier. you can do the math on that to find my kwh usage. now i enrolled in an aggregate program that measures my usage much more frequently but in return opens up a financial account in my name where the account, starting with $70, collects interest and automatically pays my bill, if i stay under a certain threshold of usage. if the threshold is $70 of usage a month, i am basically getting free electricity because i never use $70 of electricity a month. its free electricity.
10 cents per kilowatt? Goddamn! That's the highest I've ever had during the so-called 'Energy Crisis' in Europe.
