Ärende: power prices (was gas)
==============================
-=> Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

 DD> I have an all-electric home.

There were a few all-electric homes built in Ontario where there was
lots of cheap hydro back in the 60s and 70s when power rates were
really low. Not so much any more. The current rate is 8.8 cents per
kw/hr.

There are none anywhere in the NWT as our power rates are very high
because most of it is generated with expensive diesel. We are too
flat to have good waterfalls and large dams, too far away from the
gas fields for natural gas and too small to go nuclear. My rate is
31 cents and solar just for seasonal use almost makes sense at that
rate.

What's yours?

  Prepare crepe batter the night before serving.  Thinly slice green
  onions. Place one cup water in small pan on high heat. Thoroughly
  blend the 12 ounce package of bot Banh Xeo mix with the two
  remaining cups water until completely moistened.  Dissolve sugar
  in boiling cup of water and add to batter.  Add coconut milk and
  green onions and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight.

  The next day, peel and devein shrimp. Cut in half lengthwise. Cut
  pork in 2" slivers. Cut yellow onion into quarters, then in thin
  slices. Heat a few drops of oil on medium-high heat in a 10" heavy
  frying pan.  Add 3 slices yellow onion and two slices pork. Cook
  for a few seconds until onion is slightly translucent and pork is
  white. Add 5 shrimp halves and cook for 10 seconds.

  Pour in 1/2 cup batter and quickly tilt pan to form a 10" circle.
  Cover one half crepe with one cup bean sprouts. Reduce heat to
  medium. Cook until batter looks solid. Cover partially (if you
  cover completely, water will condense on crepe) and cook one
  minute. Uncover and flip crepe using a spatula. Cook until
  slightly crisp (approximately 1 minute).  Serve immediately to
  keep warm. Serve with fresh cilantro, mint or basil leaves and
  large leaves of red lettuce.

  To eat, tear off a piece of crepe, fill with cilantro and wrap in
  lettuce leaf.  Dip in sauce and eat.
