Monthly Utility Bill -- November 10, 2023

Locator: 46009ELECTRICITY.

Everyone has heard:

• how hot it was in Texas this past summer; it's coming to an end;
• how the grid may not hold; it did! Easily.
  
• how expensive Texas electricity is; say what?
• my entire utility bill is less than what my entire Starbucks bill used to be (monthly statements)
• no "loyalty" rewards with Green Mountain Energy, just reliable, affordable electricity.
  

Last month I made almost no effort to conserve electricity, and let my wife wash and dry clothes as she wanted.

My wife is like her Japanese mother: doing laundry seems to be her favorite pastime, especially las toallas. She could do las toallas all day long if we had that many.

This was our electricity bill, our entire utility bill except water which we pay with our rent. We do not have natural gas.

Note the average high temperature for the current month last year (93°F) compared to this year (97°F), and compare it to the previous month (August, 2023): 105°F.

Average daily usage: 17 kWh vs 13 kWh last year, and 18 kWh last month.

$86.71 for October, 2023 and we don't live in a cave and we don't have the IDF knocking at our door. We  have it pretty good here in the USA. Happy Veterans Day -- tomorrow. School programs yesterday and today.

Okay.
