How is your power bill?

Danlib1: Your advice was right on the mark.

My power bill with the amp on all the time goes up about $12.00 more a month.
My political swill meter is pegged after the charming discussions posted previously in this thread. Good thing we have freedom of speech, if Stalin was in charge, you would all have been shot.

Elizabeth: Pretty amazing wasn't it - imagine my surprise. Thanks for the input.

Elizabeth...At 12 cents per kwhr, $12.00 will buy you 100 kwhr.
There are 720 hours in a month.
So, your amp draws 100/720 = 0.139 Kw or about 140 watts. Sounds about right.

It was funny the way a simple comment about the effect of Mr. Obama's carbon-swap policy on the price of electricity seemed to set everyone off on a political tangent. Obviously, any increase in the cost of producing and delivering electricity is passed along to its consumers, so our power bills here in the US WILL soon increase if Mr. Obama's carbon swap plan is implemented. Mr. Obama believes that the benefit to the envorinonment of this scheme outweigh the negative effects of increased power bills throughout the US during a recession. All US-based Audiogoners will pay the price for it, not just those who so vociferously agree here, with everything Mr. Obama wants to impose.
