What Noisy Cats Are We

As someone who frequently freaks out when I open up the electric bill from NSTAR to find another month has cost us around $100, I find this to be a wicked cool and informative tool.  The folks at GE have dome some (hopefully somewhat accurate) number tinkering and built a very user friendly website to provide examples of exactly how much usage you get out of a particular device for 1 KILOWATT hour.  For instance, for one of those KILOWATT hours, I could do .4 loads of laundry in my washing machine, OR I could watch 29 DVD’s on my DVD player.  It’s interesting the differences in energy usage by the different appliances and devices.

Thanks to Lifehacker, of course, for pointing me to this site.  Pretty cool!
