Saving electricity with CFL, LED
#4
RE: Saving electricity with CFL, LED
I live in Canada, our provincial electrical grid is primarily hydroelectric, and virtually every bulb in my house is an LED.  We get electricity and natural gas through the same utility company.  Haven't looked at the gas/electric breakdown lately, but the combined monthly bill ranges between $160-$220 CDN depending on the weather, and has been fairly stable over the last few years. The price is somewhat regulated - increases or decreases (yes, they do happen) have to be approved by the Utilities Board.

The electricity I save with LEDs I use for electric blankets, the little space heater on my desk, and hot water for bubble baths.  (switches on the heater, causing warm air to waft across keyboard)  Ahh...
