Energy Usage Guide
In 1935, the
introduction of electricity set a new standard of living for rural
Minnesota residents. In homes, farms and businesses, the newest
electric services brought light to the dark and heat to the cold.
Since then,
electricity and its uses have multiplied so much that we hardly
ever think about how often we use it. Even though we can't touch
it or see it, electricity is always there ready to make our lives
a little easier whether we're using it to wash dishes, dry grain
or do our taxes on the computer. In fact, it seems that every day
a new electrotechnology is introduced that will make our lives
that much better.
But because
electricity and its millions of uses are such a prevalent part of
our lives, it is sometimes hard to gauge exactly how much of it we
use as we work, farm or play.
