[Greenbuilding] Solar Power Tower in Spain

[Ward Edwards]

When power is expensive you tend to use less of it.  In Germany the 
power is $0.20 per kwh.  That is part of the reason (along with good 
fixed price contracts) that solar PV is so popular over there.  At the 
prices they pay it makes it worth while to conserve.

We do have an electric oven (gas top) and an electric clothes dryer.  We heat hot water with propane.  It's not hard to drop your electrical useage if you are willing to try.
