Which reminds me of a story I heard recently of somebody who sold their house here and bought a 5,000 SF house in the Houston area for much less money... then was startled to begin receiving $900/month electric bills. That makes up for a lot of mortgage savings... and mortgage interest is deductible! Around here, $200 for electricity is pretty high, especially in my home town of Santa Clara, which has its own power company and the lowest rates in the state (so much for government always doing a worse job than private industry). But I think prices here are also high because a lot of people have made a lot of money around here. It is crazy how many millionaires we have around here.
