It's not atypical for my computer and baseboard heaters to be the only active electrical devices in my apartment. I don't plan on changing these consumption habits for tomorrow. The baseboard heaters are necessary and I never shut off my computer. This is my one conceit, which I think is reasonable given that my overall consumption is very low; I tend to hover around 12 kWh per day for most of the year, although that may get up as high as 14 or 15 during the coldest winter months. This puts me at less than half the average US consumer and less than 1/3 the average Canadian, according to the numbers I've been able to dig up.

Sustainability and long-term habit changes ftw. I don't even do it for the environment; I just don't like having a huge electricity bill.
