Turning lights off and using lower power bulbs would be really excrutiating.

Where I am in New York, there are different rates for electricity depending on the time of day. During peak hours (8AM-8PM weekdays) you pay premium(.14985/kWh) rates. During non peak hours (8PM-8AM weekdays and all hours on weekends or holidays) you pay a MUCH lower (.04995/kWh) rate. The power company installs a special meter to be able to do this. I save about 25% off a standard flat rate billing by opting for this plan. I consciously try to reserve all high watt usage (washer/drier/stove/dishwasher/etc) to off peak hours. It really is easy when the benefits are so apparent and easy to understand. Of course, this isn't nearly so advanced as the west coast plan to ban fireplace usage on alternate days.....but we try here in New York to do our part. Do they have this in CA??? In Co???
