I signed up for this "Smart Hours" deal that my power company offers. Basically you do your best not to use much electricity between 2:00 and 7:00 p.m., and they charge you lower rates the rest of the day. They also charge you REALLY HIGH rates between 2:00 and 7:00, so there's an incentive to not use any power you don't have to.
Obviously I can't stop using the refrigerator, but I do things like shut off the AC in rooms we aren't using (because we have window units this is easy) and unplug my laptop so it will run on battery, and so on. So far this is lowering our power bill by about $75/month.
Nice if true! We'll see at the end of the month when the bill comes.
