$200 a month for electricity is a massively expenseive bill that most people would never be able to afford. A peak use month may see something in the range of $75-$90. Normal bill would be in the $30-40 range. $200 a month is about 4 times more what people are normally paying now. Hardly worth the cost to just to fight a media manufactured myth like "Global Warming"
?
125.00 - 175.00 a month from May through Sept is what southerners pay NOW for electricity.
Figure about 50.00 - 75.00 month the rest of the year, IF they have gas heat and a gas water heater. Otherwise, every month’s bill is higher.
Your numbers are off for AZ. $200 is an average bill here.
My average monthly electric bill for that last 10 years is probably $150. That's for a well insulated house of about 2000 sq. ft, in Texas. My A/C is rated only about 4-4.5 tons cooling. Many bigger homes in Texas probably have 7.5 to 10 tons capacity of A/C.
Over the past 3 years, the average monthly bill is probably running the $200 mentioned previously.
I've lived through about 50 Texas summers. There's NOTHING Al Gore can teach me about global warming!!!
Wow, whose average electric bill is $30-$40/month? Mine is close to $125-$140/month on a 2k sq foot well insulated house (and our heat comes from Nat Gas, not electricity) and I only cool 2/3 of the house (basement is on a seperate system) and I keep the temperatures WAY below/above (depending on season) the ‘average.’ NC has very competitive Kwh rates too. I’d say $200/month in Arizona is probably accurate for a normal house.
