I believe it.  That's on the cheaper side, I bet.

That makes sense.  I turn off the heat in my apartment at night since I
keep plenty warm under blankets.

It wouldn't be PG&E, would it?

Here, I deal with Brightridge (my local PUC/co-op) that buys from the
TVA.  I'm lucky.  With my being in the hospital this month, my electric
