The other day I attended a Green Building Design class and the instructor brought up a great point. He asked for a show of hands to tell him how much a gallon of gas cost....most everyone raised their hand and knew the answer.
Then he asked how much we pay for a KWh of energy- hardly anyone raised their hand.
In East TN we are lucky to have relatively low energy costs- just about $.084 /Kwh. Other areas are not so lucky. He posed an interesting correlation, "is the green movement in East TN not that big because the energy costs are still so low?"
I am curious, what are some of the energy rates in other areas in the United States. Please share in the comment section below. Also, please comment if "Green is In" in regards to residential real estate in your area.
