Posted October 11, 200618 yr Feeding the MONSTER Cost of powering common household appliances could curl your hair Tuesday, October 10, 2006 Paul Wilson THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Six hours of TV each day will add $42 to your annual electric bill. Four hours of daily Internet surfing? $38. Ten hours of nightly shuteye on the old water bed? $124. Those prices, which vary depending on individual appliances, are quotes from a new online calculator from American Electric Power. The utility’s customers now can determine how much they spend to power household appliances, to heat and cool their homes and to keep the lights on. They also can learn how they might cut some of those costs.

Generation Service Charge... Transmission Service Charge... Distribution Charge... Customer Charge... Transition Charge... Yup. AEP knows from "vampire costs."
