[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3421687, member: 24500"] The real fiscal benefit is indense population states. In Hawaii, who's average rate is 4x the average OK rate, it makes sense with steady winds and abundant and steady sunshine. It's just like the electric car debate. In California where gas is regularly at or above $4, EV's make sense even if their electricity is double our rate. It's all relative to the individual. Most people can't see merit beyond their own benefit. The OK electric average is just over 8cents/kwh, but it varies. In Summer, I pay 2.5cents/kwh 19 hours a day, 10cents/kwh during peak time 2-7p. Thanks to good insulation, my 1400sqft only costs $55/mo to keep at a crisp 70 degrees. Tile floors don't hurt either. Oct 1st to June 1st, I pay a steady 4.5cents/kwh. I wouldn't benefit from solar/wind either... but that doesn't mean I think it's the devil. [/QUOTE]
