So far, I have not figured out the utility grid. Utilities can be so
expensive in one area of the country, but not in other areas.

A few weeks ago, I visited two different friends in Las Vegas. Each of
them said their utility bills were over $500 each month. Temperatures
here in Louisiana, were in the high 90's, and it was around 104-105 for
one week. My utility bill was $140. My house is 2400 sq ft and their
houses are about 3000 sq ft. It does not seem right, that they have to
pay so much for utilities.
