Energy

All my friends are making fun of me and calling me “Rustic” and saying I use candles after my energy bill.

    For a person in a developed country this is extraordinarily low. This is the amount of power you would use by leaving a desktop computer turned on all the time and literally nothing else, not even a lamp. Certainly not a heater or a stove or an air conditioner. Do you even have a refrigerator?

    Do you have solar panels? Because otherwise that is pretty low. Mines is 120kWh/month and I think that’s low!

    You would have to add how much you spend on candles per cycle though, it’s still part of your energy usage.

    Maybe tell us if you have a washing machine/ dryer/ oven. 2KWH/day is pretty low. That is less than 1 load of washing.

    Caring about how we produce and use energy is not something to get clowned for, it is literally one of the biggest levers we have on money, comfort, and climate.

    If your friends think that is lame, that says more about their curiosity than about you.

    You’re using an average of 91.667 watts. That is not a lot. But neither is it nothing. Your efficient neighbors are consuming only 2.27 times more than you. Well, they likely have more people in their home than you do.

    I’m guessing your entertainment is a phone, tablet, laptop, and/or a modest TV. I’m guessing you eat out a lot. Lighting is LEDs. I’m guessing your heat and hot water are either gas or included in your rent.

    Lighting is the least demanding in energy now that led exist. Candles are definitely more expensive. Stove, hot water, heating, cooling, higher end electronics will be the real draw of power.

    That’s what I use. All my friends are jealous. That’s with solar panels. You are the future.
