Mal ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
California's rates are about average and they were before the deregulation disaster. It was a different story when PG&E was forced to buy power at 100 times the going rate. New York and Connecticut generally have the most expensive rates in the continental United States. Hawaii's rates about about double New York's.
eta: Checked up on my memory. Memory was wrong.
I was just wondering if complaints about PG&E bills were like taxes, i.e., Californians think they are so high, but yet they're cheaper than everywhere else I've been.
Not in this case.
And yeah, your energy bills are lower here, but they should be, since it's not snowing and you don't need AC in SF.

Actually, they should be the same since I didn't pay for heat in NY and I didn't have AC until the year I moved.
We're talking stove, fridge, appliances, lights. In a NY 1-bedroom that was about $40-45 a month.
California's cost per kilowatt hour is also lower.
my monthly bill is $13-14 for gas & electric
Looks at $87 monthly bill for electricity alone. Cries.

I am super excited that it seems like my utilities are about the same here compared to NYC, and here I'm paying for my own heat and am, so far, home all the time.
I probably average $250 combined for a three bedroom house.

Hm, looks like my bill used to be around $30ish a month, but it's jumped to $50 recently. Huh. I think that's just the winter increase, though, from using the heater. Last year around this time I had a $70 bill.
We recently replaced the windows with much better ones so I'll be curious to see how summer goes. We've gotten up to $300 during a hot summer month. For quite awhile my wife kept wanting to add insulation, and I had to keep pointing out that there's nothing to add insulation too. We'd have to rebuild the house with 2x6 exterior studs instead of 2x4.
T-shirt war! This is a neat stop-motion video.
