We pay something like $0.10 US per kWHr in the Detroit area, the fuel
cost to make it ranges from $0.017 to $0.035, however, on hot days that
cost can climb to $0.10 easily and I have seen it as high as $3.00/kWhr,
but not for long. Peaking generation is inefficient and expensive.
In any case 12 Watts turned on for 24 x 8760 hours is 105.12 kW. at
ten cents, the yearly cost would be $10.50 US in Detroit. Hmmmm, maybe
I should look at how many clocks I have plugged in.
