 GM y'all!

I was going over the September electric bills for my new place and comparing them to my old place and I noticed something interesting.

In August/September of 2022 I used 1140 KWH of #electricity in 31 days and I received a bill of $161.89. That works out to be 36.8 KWH a day for $0.142 a KWH.

My August/September 2024 bill shows I used 1164 KWH over 30 days and I'm being charged $149.12. That works out to be 38.8 KWH a day and $0.128 a KWH.

Over 2 years I was able to use MORE #energy in FEWER days and I was charged LESS overall for it.

$0.128 / $0.142 = 90.1%

A 9.9% drop in energy costs over 2 years.

Roughly 5% a year in savings.

This is the #productivity gains of society, that I talked about in the quoted below previous post, being #manifest. It's a beautiful thing to see.
