To: Tell It Right

To be honest, most folks are probably using 50-percent more KwH than you in a month....so you might be happy that you are in the lesser category.

In my original post I listed the kWh I pulled from the grid (594). But my true kWh usage during that billing period was 1776 kWh, according to my solar inverters. That's because 1,182 kWh of our power came from the solar system, my inverters had to pull 594kWh from the grid to keep up with my demand. So we paid for 1/3rd of the power we used in our all-electric home, including charging the EV that we do most of our driving in.

Obviously, energy cost inflation doesn't impact my budget nearly as much as it used to. Your post was about me being happy about consuming less power than most, you're right. I'm very pleased with the energy project I did to protect my retirement investments from stupid energy cost inflation. But I also hate it. I hate it for the people who aren't in a situation to generate most of the power they consume. I hate that the Dims forced me into the situation of either investing in my own energy project or pay a jizya tax to their gaia god.
