I was wondering how much folding 24/7 is increasing your power bills in the UK and how much you are paying per unit.
Recently my power bill changed to every 3 months so I have been keeping an eye on the usage, i'm being charged £0.12 per unit and my PC uses 1 unit per hour, when I did the math I was suprised.
So that's around £2.88 per day or £80 a month! Anyone else think this is ridiculous? I already quit SMP to try and save a little but it hasn't helped much, I realy don't know what else I can do to cut down my usage, I already make sure nothing else is left switched on etc.
I remember reading that the lucky americans
who are folding only see around a $15 increase per month from folding on a single rig?
I just can't see how they can charge so much, it's sickening.
