   I've cut electricity use to below 150 KWH / month, but I've run out of   
   reasonable ways to reduce it much further. That includes electric hot   
   water.   
      
   The household average here is 624 KWH / month according to this report   
   on the recent scrubber upgrade to reduce mercury emissions from   
   burning coal.
