SV: [AT] 3Ph, etc. now ramble (born free taxed till death)

[CEE VILL]

This topic is thought provoking.   I just divided my last bill for 
residential 220v, single phase to see where I stand.   Is as follows:

$110.53 total bottom line / 842 KWH use for the month =$ .1313 / KWH.

I suspect this can be quite a lot more or less, depending where you park 
your collector tractors in the U.S.  I guess if I paid what Mattias pays, I 
would live in total darkness.
