Well, the wind is free  but the capital costs are pretty big for building a wind turbine.
Wind Powering America: Cost Trends
I live in Alberta and the majority of power here is coal-generated (i.e. dirty but relatively cheap). I just locked into a 5 yr electricity contract at $0.07/kWh.
I'm pretty surprised by the amount of consumption soup uses....we only use, on average, between 400 and 450 kWh/month, year round. Do you use natural gas to heat your home in the winter or is it electric (that may explain the high usage in the winter months but I'm just guessing).
