Guess I'm spoiled living in an area with an Electric Co-op.  My home  is 
large, well insulated, built on a North/South orientation to avoid direct  
exposure to the sun's heat, has heat pumps and our electric bills are  
significantly less than the examples shown in the article.
 
Yes, perhaps spoiled and fortunate, even though it gets really hot in the  
summer time.  
 
On another similar topic, we are currently doing rain dances three times a  
day.  Under normal conditions we would have had somewhere around 25 inches  
of rain at this point in the year.  So far this year we are at about 7  
inches.  This becomes more personally important when your water supply  for 
your home is rainwater collection.  Our collection tank is at about 15  to 20% 
of capacity.  That should carry us for another 6 weeks or so.   Keep on 
dancing!
