$600? Good golly. This summer, in the worst heat, we paid $130. I'm more concerned about the cell phone bill than the electrical. Local rates range from about $0.12 to $0.15 per kwh. I understand that just across the border in VA they're almost 50% more than that.

But then, our house is only 1600sqft, and I've been going crazy hunting down insulation leaks. We only have one small TV, but it's a CRT, so that's a bit of a sink. My computer runs all the time, and sometimes I'm running a second computer, the stereo, etc. Our fridge is brand new, and heat/hot-water are heating oil, but the stove is all electric.

Back when I was single, it seems like my bill was a LOT less. I mean, a LOT less, like it's more than doubled. (sigh) The price we pay...
