Sounds like you are somewhere near a waterfall or dam that your power company uses for it's main source of generating electricity.

I live here in Vegas. And you'd think with the Hoover Dam down the street, the desert sun to generate solar, AND the crazy winds here that we would have cheap ass power.

Nope.

My electric bill in August was $610...and that's with the air conditioning set on 85!!!

This last month has been very mild and we haven't had to run the air or the heat at all. I use fluorescent bulbs in every room. We turn everything off when we leave a room.

And my power bill was still $165!

I do have a giant house with 2 stories...but goddamn this shit is expensive.
