That's interesting. I just skimmed it, but when I get some time I'll go read the whole thing. Looks like a good article to read.

Reminds me of a commercial I saw for the show "Everybody Hates Chris."
"Unplug that clock, boy. You can't tell time while you sleep. That's two cents an hour."

I pay for the electiricty I use. I went to Compact Florescents over 10 years ago to save $$. But my computer stays ON all the time. That's an expense I'm prepared to pay.

I think it comes down to convenience. I could get relatively decent gas mileage out of my V8 engine, but I like the boost of power you get around 4000 RPM. I'm willing to pay a little extra for that by making more frequent stops at the gas station...
