Yeah, having a bigger house is going to take more natural gas so his average of $1080 a month for natural gas isn't that staggering. The electricity numbers though truly are staggering. I'd love to see what wastes of electricity he has going in that house.

Well when I think about my electric bill, it certainly fits. The more you have to heat a house, the more electricity you use. It's not like you just turn on the natural gas and that's the only thing involved. When I use air conditioning and heat in my apartment, the electricity skyrockets from the use of the equipment needed to deliver that cool/heat.

I'm not implying he's perfect or that he couldn't use less -- I'm just saying that there are a lot of electrical things that are going to go into keeping a home like that (which he and Tipper work out of) running on a daily basis.
