Just another reason that we need to avoid generalising a specific situation as being applicable in general ;^> Here (British Columbia, Canada), our base rate is $0.0884/kWh for the first 1350kWh over a 2-month billing cycle (about 22kWh/day). Again, the point was not to argue whether the specific values in my example apply to everyone (or anyone ;^), but just to illustrate that communicating the financial benefit of saving energy is trickier to do.
