I have tracked all my utility usage for the past years meticuously and know how much it changed year to year, what my averages were, etc. etc. Ladia is so correct about the swing and demand factors. Over 10 years I've watched swings in my own usage and utility prices. I have watched my LP prices go up over the years $1.10 in 2003 to $2.48 in 2007; thus, you can understand my decision to forego geo once we put the pond in; it wasn't if--it was when. I watched electric go from .0897 per kwa to .10/.11 2008. I would suggest anyone thinking of going geo to do their math based on their own situations.
