Yeah it's about 11 cents here in Arizona, but unfortunately the one major nuclear power plant in Arizona is supposed to be down for most of the summer for periodic maintenance. As such, they'll have to fire up more of the alternate ($$$$) power generators instead. Keep in mind, summer is the expensive time of year for Arizona, on account of the extreme high temperatures.

As for power saving tips, shoot, this was bad timing. I could write a whole heckuva lot on the topic, but I need to get to sleep and tomorrow I pack up all my camping gear for my trip to Canyonlands, south of Moab, Utah. In the mean time, er, my key to success has been careful planning of thermostat use, total replacement of all household lighting with CFL's, and documenting power draw of everything possible using a Kill-A-Watt (also sold as the Power Angel) and using the knowledge of how much power every appliance pulls to know how best to use them. Heck, I even undervolted my computer's CPU from the stock 1.35v to 1.14v to save 11 watts whenever it's on and drawing load. How's that for dedication!
