Cool "Green" home electric bills

Greetings all,

When I got my house built I decided to go with solar pannels (not cheap but oh so worth it!) and geothermal heat & AC. It sure has been worth it. The most expensive months for me were in the winter when eletricity needed to give the colder water a boost to warm the house. Still I had only one ultiltiy to pay and that's electric.

My solar pannels are not enough to cover my total needs, yet. Maybe someday I'll be able to supplement it with a wind generator when they don't need to be monster wind mills. That's all we can get here right now, but I know other technologies are out there. That's what I am counting on.

Jan. $96
Feb. $74
March $35
April $42
May $38
June $52

So very cool!!! I can keep my house nice and cool now in the summer too. July will likely be even less because we've had more sunny days and I've needed to use the ceiling fans less. Ultra cool. Also, I get energy credits that I can sell for, right now they sell for over $700 for every 1 megawatt I generate and I've generated 1 officially so far since they got me into the program in May.

Wo Hoo!
Randy
