Still mixing means and extremes (Score: 1) by chipotle_pickle on Friday, November 14, 2003 @ 11:26:21 UTC (User Info | Send a Message) http://freehydrogen.blogspot.com | Lets assume that the 1.9 cent per kWh figure is the basis for the $15 per month. In that case, multiplying a cost (1.9 cents per kWh) by maximum (26.6 kWh/day * 30 days) would yield a maximum monthly cost of $15/month. Not a cost, a maximum cost. But they don't call the $15 a max. So that doesn't work.
OK, assume that the $15 per month is the basis, and divide by the max usage and you get a minimum cost of 1.9 cents per kWh. But they don't call the 1.9 cents a min. That doesn't work either.
The only way you can get the 1.9 cents to agree with the $15 is if it's a capacity cost, not a materials cost. That this is an improper use of the term "operational cost" is an error that's a little to subtle to complain about. |
