I had the electric blanket on the Kill-O-Watt meter for a month. Blanket on high for about a half hour to an hour to kill the chill then turned off when I got in bed, just about every night... all of $.70 for a month. Grid power is still hard to beat here.
Maybe now that nanosolar has started shipping product we won't have long to wait? My lungs aren't good enough to hold my breath that long. zap
The only problem is that the anglepoise lamp is sprung for the lighter incandescent bulbs, the heavier cfl's make the lamp head drop down - I'm not sure what will happen when incandescants are phased out - a lot of drooping anglepoise lamps I suppose...
