    Have you ever actually looked at your electric bill?

    I was paying the electric bill for the studio this weekend and glanced down the list of itemized charges... check this out:

    Basic service charge
    Delivery service charge
    Environmental benefits surcharge
    Federal environmental improvement surcharge
    Competition rules compliance charge
    System benefits charge
    Power supply adjustment
    Metering
    Meter reading
    Billing
    Generation of electricity on-peak
    Generation of electricity off-peak
    Transmission and ancillary services
    Transmission cost adjustment
    Interim rate surcharge
    Regulatory assessment
    Franchise fee

    Of the actual bill, only 25% is the direct cost of my electricity used... the other 75% is all fees and taxes!
    New models booked and shot every week... MILFs, pornstars and teens. Girls for every niche and project.

                      yeah the dollar amount is a whole other matter... i was just stunned at the countless line items that really add up

                      as for monthly cost, my house electric bill is about $500-600 per month and the studio is about $200-300

                          Damn, I thought we had it tough out here in the midwest but its nothing like that. Bullshit prob makes up 10 percent of the bill.


                          btw Easton lemme know if you come across anymore models. ;)

                              You guys pay rediculous prices, just thing how much more money you would make without all the extra costs. :\

                                  its just about every company that does this. take a look at your cell phone bill too. i think i pay over $50 in fees every month just for my cell.

                                  i think as consumers, we should be able to charge them fees too, like "annoyance fee" and "i dont like how much my bill is fee"

                                      Yea, what is with all the ass rape charges. You should look at you water bill too.

                                      We were just talking about this last week when we saw our bill. We are on the energy savings plan with APS and our bill stays the same all year long, until they access our usage at the end of the yearly period.

                                      We have always done well and our bill never went up over the years. Well, a few months ago we purchased all Pella windows, our electric usage dropped severely and bam, Fucking APS jacked our bill and charged us 50 bucks more a month. When we called, they told us they have the right to access our usage at any time and not annually.
                                      Well, they jacked our ass....so much for trying to save energy.
                                      APS is the biggest bunch of fucking crooks

                                          as for our cost, that's because we have to run all 3 A/C units all the time from May-Sept to battle the insane heat

                                                  Are they refrigerative or evaporative coolers? (I think you call them swamp coolers)

                                                  I've become interested in more passive cooling lately... next summer (it's winter here) I'm going to experiment with regularly misting the roof tiles with water. The idea is that the mist evaporating - almost instantaneously - cools the tiles, dissipating heat from the roof space and therefore cooling the house. It won't drop the temperature to anywhere near "chilly" but it means the refrigerative (and noisy/expensive) A/C unit doesn't need to work as hard.

                                                      Great idea, except they charge for water usage here and for sewer that is tied to the water bill.

                                                      Plus add local taxes not listed above for all three bills.

                                                      There is the thought of a rain barrel system, they'd tax for that too. Plus cost recovery would be years.

                                                      What really gets me is the surcharge for not using enough gas or electricity. No matter what you're gonna pay.

It won't drop the temperature to anywhere near "chilly" but it means the refrigerative (and noisy/expensive) A/C unit doesn't need to work as hard.
                                                          I don't think Easton would survive living with a swamp cooler.

                                                          We are going to have a metal roof put on this year. They do not hold the heat like asphalt singles and they will last longer than the 30 year shingles that really only survive 10 years max in this AZ heat.
                                                          Then we are going to start on Solor panels. It's time to put the electric company out of our monthly bills.

                                                                      Plus add local taxes not listed above for all three bills.

                                                                      There is the thought of a rain barrel system, they'd tax for that too. Plus cost recovery would be years.

                                                                      What really gets me is the surcharge for not using enough gas or electricity. No matter what you're gonna pay.
                                                                      You still have the "pay for x% sewage discharge when it's actually evaporated into the atmosphere" issue with swamp coolers. I'd say the water usage with the roof spray system would be similar or less than a swamp cooler. The controller has various sensors to figure out the right amount to spray: just enough so that there's ALMOST beading and a dribble of water running down the tiles. If it's working properly then no misted water ever ends up going down your drainpipe. OTOH, a swamp cooler needs to flush or bleed its sump regularly to prevent buildup of mineral deposits.

                                                                        Comment

                                                                                                  I have 7 computers that stay on 24/7, it would be cool to convert them to DC power supplies and run everything off batteries and renewable energy or at least supplement mains with some renewable energy...

Hopefully we will have the entire house run off of Solor before too long.

We reinsulated the whole house, have brand new windows throughout, and haven't had to run the air yet even in 90+ degree weather. This is with 2 people home all day, TV on, 3 PCs running constantly, and an electric stove.

I'd say the water usage with the roof spray system would be similar or less than a swamp cooler. The controller has various sensors to figure out the right amount to spray: just enough so that there's ALMOST beading and a dribble of water running down the tiles. If it's working properly then no misted water ever ends up going down your drainpipe. OTOH, a swamp cooler needs to flush or bleed its sump regularly to prevent buildup of mineral deposits.

Even if you have a vacant lot, you pay cause of run off during a rain.... Those with water barrels get zero break, ponds are no help either. It is called greed. There is always a new program to fund...
