Astounding Energy Savings

The original solar energy–line-drying your clothes! I would occasionally line dry clothes and always thought how great they smelled and wished I did it more often. Then our energy rates went way up and I found I was able to see our usage online every day for the previous day-very cool. I was astounded to find that the days I used the dryer, even once, the kilowatts went through the roof. Okay, I’m way to math challenged to figure it out to the penny, but I figure it this way: Our rates went up 10%, and this year my bills are staying the same as last year or are actually slightly lower, so I figure I’m saving at least 10% on my energy bill from (1) line drying my clothes and (2) raising the temperature setting by 1 degree during the day.
