Move closer to the seabreeze, Tim. My electric bill tops out in August at about $120. Only month where the windows aren't open all day.

Part of this is that mommy "freezes" if the house drops under 77 degrees F. I would guess the bill would be about $200 if we kept the thermostat at 72 d F.

Oh, and my shack is only 2500 sq. ft. under air. Not as big as your "Al Gore Mansion"....
