[ale] 0.15c an hour

[James P. Kinney III]

We have 12 machines here that are on 24x7. Plus a dedicated AC unit for
the server closet. Our power bill is averaged over the year to level the
summer cooling load. The monthly bill is about $325.

I attribute at least 20% of that to the teenagers inability to turn off
any lights in the house....
