from the Daily Camera article about the new digital meters installed by Xcel. From Susan Osborne we have this gem:
“Just a few minutes ago, I turned the dishwasher on and realized that it used 3 kilowatt hours. It helps you to remember to run it as least often as possible.”
Yes Susan, to reduce electrical usage, run electrical appliances as seldom as possible. Another helpful hint you may not be aware of - you can reduce gasoline usage by... driving less.
Scary. Susan is making decisions on some very complex questions with numerous trade-offs, yet she has trouble comprehending that electrical appliances use electricity.
