You probably live in the USA, because 200w 24/7 would cost me about 600€/year which is definitely significant.

- collegeburner 4y agoone of the upsides to living in texas, lots of cheap wind power lol. even with more expensive electricity i can still run old hardware for cheap. means less e waste also.
- delroth 4y agohttps://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/US-TEX-ERCO https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/US-TEX-ERCO Your cheap TX electricity is, unsurprisingly, mostly gas. And if you look at data from 12h ago it was more coal than wind.
- Scoundreller 4y agoYearly averages are probably the most sensible to look at. Wind is at 20% which is still nothing to sneeze at: > According to ERCOT, nearly half of Texas’ electricity was generated by natural gas-fired power plants in 2019. Coal-fired plants and wind power each generated about 20 percent, while the state’s two nuclear power plants — the South Texas Project near Bay City and Comanche Peak near Glen Rose — supplied a total of 11 percent. Solar, hydroelectric and biomass resources provided most of the remainder https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2020/august/ercot.php https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2020/augu...
- happyopossum 4y agoI live in the USA - California, and 150W 24/x would cost about $550/yr. In fact it would cost me a lot more, as my family shifted to time-of-use billing to save money (yeah, it means we don't do certain things between 4-8pm, but with some adjustment it's made a difference in our bills).
