Where is this found?

Apparently we all got letters in the mail.  At least I did.

Maybe someone could develop a fish powered water turbine to recapture the energy and put it back into your systems.   ;)

I'm glad my bill was only 67 bucks this month but I'm down to 6 tanks. :(

Got my letter finally.  I wasnt the top, but I was up there.  I think 88%.  But, I am also living in a farming area, so those are probably the people above me.

I just got this in an email also.

Wow.  Ours is around $250 on average year round.

What this tells me is that you don't have enough tanks.  You are to close to the average.  :P

Consumers said we were 170% or something for our block or however they do it. But our bill was also 300 plus dollars then it dropped down to 140 the past couple months... we asked them why it was so high when we were using less and they could tell us.

I noticed during a/c season that consumers almost doubled the rate per kwh once we hit 2000kwh

so you're saying that there is a benefit to me being AC less?  :P

When I got into the hobby I was buying fish from a breeder and noticed his fish room was lined with thick sheets of insulated foam panels.   I now have confirmed thru the use of a watt meter that my hobby is costing me about $75 per month, mostly from heaters and a dehumidifier running 24/7  (all my 20 tanks have lids).  I am going to Lowes this weekend for a good space heater (gas is way cheaper) and some panel boards.   Maybe I should raise guppies and gold fish ..... nahhh
