OSI, your "free hot water" idea reminds me, I haven't had solar tea for a long time. I think I'll get a jug of it started.

Idyroper, when my 2nd son was at home, he took long, hot showers, too. The electric bill dropped quite a bit when he moved out. Our water pipes run by the washing machine before they get to the shower. So sometimes, when he was in there especially long, I'd start a load of hot wash. That would pull the hot water to the washing machine, and the shower would turn cold. Then he'd get out fast!

If you want exact numbers of what it costs, you could probably call your electric company.
