Default AC_Hacker's Daily Electricity Usage...

My daily electric usage per day for September is 12 kWh/day.

I have gas water heat (demand water heater), gas stove, gas dryer.

I have no incandescent lighting anymore, and I am in the process of replacing the CF lights with LED lights.

I'm still using my 3/4 Ton Sanyo heat pump for heat, and I used it for AC about seven days this summer. This time of year, my house is very close to being in comfortable equilibrium (70F) with the outside temperature.

I also drive a car that has a lifetime average of 54 mpg.

It might be interesting to convert all energy use to the same units, say kWh and make that comparison.

BTW, I heard a very interesting talk last night where I learned that the poverty level in India is defined as less than 75 cents per day. I also learned that less than half of India has access to electricity.
