Suppose my power company claims that the charge is
$0.02407 per
killowatt/hour. If I have a computer (or anything) that draws maybe 100
watts. that should be 0.1kw/h x 0.02407 x 24 hours = 5.7768 cents per day
or $1.73 a month. I've been under the impression for quite some time that
it costs $20 a month to run a typical modern desktop computer 24 hours a day
for a month. I know there are taxes and fees thrown into the power bill.
But what's wrong with my math? Was I wrong before or am I wrong now? I got
this kw/h price from the power company web site burried in a pdf somewhere.
It looked like the right price to me. Maybe the actual charge is much
higher?
