Watson, Californians are used to paying much more than other states. Our (very) modest rental in Mtn. View rents at a remarkable $3/sq ft./month. That is about 500% what you might find almost anywhere else in the country. Scumbria

I just got my power bill here in Arizona and it's $67.03 for 1067 kWhs. Even in the summer it never got over $100. Please don't anyone think of moving here though as it's already getting too crowded. EP

Hi TWY, OT RE: "If I had to pay what Californians will eventually have to pay" It's not clear to me what Californians will eventually have to pay. Here's a summary of the cost of electricity (you'll notice there was a sudden jump in 6/00): 4 (cents) (in 1999) 4 (Q1-00) 4 (5/00) 8 (6/00) 19 (7/00) 16 (8/00) 19 (9/00) 16 (10/00) 15 (11/00) 24 (12/00) 34 (1/01) An increase of 9X's, from 4 cents to 34 cents, in 8 months. Sounds like a potentially good ROI for the companies that sell electricity to PG&E. Regards, Amy J
