That is of course for our power supplier (National Grid/NiMo in upstate NY at the time) and usage. This was with buying Cree replacements for screw-in bulbs. Didn't run the numbers on tube lights.

VCF pays $1/yr. rent and we always donate extra from from our events.

I don't know how much the mothership electric bill is each month.

I do know there are a lot of inefficiencies. Lack of insulation,

week.
