In a previous post, someone asked me what my electrics rates were. I was only able to find some of 2011 electric bills. I put them on spread sheet. As you can see, they vary from $.09/kw-hr to $.12/kw-hr. Where I live, the more electricity you use the cheaper it gets. I have a 2200 sq ft total electric home, with simple electric base board heat in each room. I believe the best heat source is insulation, the best windows and doors you can buy. I also believe, you can't over insulate and stop air infiltration. If you have an older home with air infiltration, you will have extremely dry air in the winter, along with static electricity and nose bleeds. Here are some of my old 2011 electric bills. Before anyone jumps on me for having too much insulation, I built my home 20 years ago and there is no mold, mildew, or a sick building syndrome.

Having difficulty getting the columns to line up.
Hope this helps anyone trying to decide on what is the cheapest way to heat their home.
I'm not a fan of expensive heat pumps, or high teck gas/propane furnaces, because of their costs, life expectancy, and maintenance cost.
I am a fan of lots of insulation. I use my old gas furnace blower to move the air for my 12 seer central air.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
