my roommate has been randomly drying clothes for the last two hours...i promise the clothes were dry sometime during the first half an hour...upside? the sound of a dyer is soothing. Downside? energy, environment, money.
What's a kilowatt?
When you use electricity to cook a pot of rice for 1 hour, you use 1000 watt-hours of electricity! One thousand watt-hours equals 1 kilowatt-hour, or 1 kWh. Your utility bill usually shows what you are charged for the kilowatt-hours you use. The average residential rate is 8.3 cents per kWh. A typical U.S. household consumes about 11,000 kWh per year, costing an average of $900 annually.
