Jim....as usual....you said a mouthful!!
I have an all electric modern 3000 sq ft home here and I have yet to go over
$200 a month.
There is no gas etc so the heating and a/c is all electric...although it is
a Geothermal system and very efficient.
This includes me being here all the time with at least one boat anchor and
the usual household appliances running all the time.
I remember when Gumby got in so far over his head that he got tossed out on
his a**....but...it was too late for the public.
I'm glad I'm not out there anymore.
Yeah, yeah.....who wants to live where I do....there is not exactly a
traffic jam coming this way and that's a good thing.
I'm on 10 clean acres and can do whatever I want with antennas etc.
Look at the place on google earth....on qrz.

I have carefully tracked my utility bills in a spreadsheet for at least
25 years. And I compute what they are charging me per kWh, how much I am
using per day, and so on. When you do this, you learn interesting things,
one of the most important of which is rate increases that they don't talk
about. My power usage has remained fairly steady and even dropped a bit as
I've worked to save money, but PG&E billing rates have been climbing almost
every six months.Those billing increases folks have noted are probably due
to the rate increases, not the smart meters.
These rates are set by some form of legal agreement with the State of
California, probably negotiated during the time that we well all getting
ripped off by Enron. Now we're getting ripped off by PG&E. My electricity
rates here in CA are almost three times what I paid in Chicago.
