Wow, it is only $0.07 cents/kWh here (St Louis, Missouri, USA). The |
6 |
electric company wants to raise rates and the general public is |
7 |
violently opposed (as always). But it seems like we have it good! The |
8 |
highest electric bill I've ever had was $89 last summer when we had a |
9 |
stretch of 100+ degree days... it's a real bargain but I still try to |
10 |
do what I can to save power, not only because of money but because |
11 |
it's The Right Thing To Do(tm). |

Gentoo is surely not the most power-saving distro when you consider |
14 |
the load that compiling generates, but there are some things I just |
15 |
cannot compromise on. :) |

They can double, triple, quadruple the electric rates and I'd still be |
18 |
happy; when the power goes out during a storm, etc., I find myself |
19 |
bored to death. Give me my electricity and give it to me now, please. |
