The authors of the WSJ piece define âslipstreamâ fiction as being âthe new weirdâ because it âborrowsâ from science fiction, fantasy or horror, to âsurpriseâ readers who arenât expecting such things in their allegedly normal fiction.
Multiply the kilowatt-hours used per day times the electricity rate charged by the power company. If you use 10 kilowatt-hours daily and the highest-tier rate you pay is 20 cents, the air conditioner costs $2.00 per day, or about $60 per month.
The formula for calculating the cost is straightforward: Kilowatt hours * cost per kWh * number of hours used. One kWh is equal to 3412 BTU. A 5100 BTU air conditioner will then use 1.49 kWh for each hour it is running.In the Chicago area we are paying $0.11 per kWh.1.49 * 0.11 * time. The above formula gets us very close to the cost. We only need to figure out how many hours per day we will be using the AC unit. 5100 BTU air conditioner will then use 1.49 kWh for each hour it is running.
