And in Austin, energy rates are 1/3 of that. If your light is on 1/3 of the time, we're down to < $1/year. Without any time/value aspects, saving $1/year isn't on anyone's radar.. especially since the AC turning on is going to be much more.

> And in Austin, energy rates are 1/3 of that. Are you saying electricity delivered to the home costs 3 cents/kWh in Austin? I flat out don't believe that. We're paying over 20 cents on Cape Cod. I can believe 10 cents in some areas. 3 cents, sorry; no.

  As of December, the Austin Energy rates are 2.8c/kWh at the bottom tier, ranging up to 10.8c/kWh at the top. Once you add all the extra fees and "one time charges" that happen every month, it's more but that's the base.
