Their usage is equivalent to running a 2 hp motor 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. I hate to say this borders on ridiculous. Sun lamps are likely going to cost more to run than this. Some cop didn't do his homework. If I were a pot grower, I would probably just load up on propane and use that since they could never trace it. Just fill up a couple of extra tanks during the winter and save it for the summertime. This is an abuse of power. I'm also frankly surprised they could get access to the electrical usage. This is confidential information. I'm pretty sure they would have to have a warrant to even see it.
