We use a lot of power. Before deciding to move it all to Nevada, I had the power company estimate my costs in NV using my usage in CA. The cost in NV was almost 2/3 lower. An imaginary line in the desert separating insane leftists from regular people was shown to save me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just in electricity alone. Now I know why. Also much of the cost in CA is simply legislated in a quixotic attempt to save the world from getting warmer and thus greener. <br /><br />Only in California does an oversupply of something increase it's cost. They are magical thinkers. bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.com
