Hundreds of what?

[–] TostiHawaii@feddit.nl 25 points 4 weeks ago

Exactly, hundreds of watt.

$ in energy costs, equipment cost, clothing replacement cost

In what amount of time? I don't see a load of laundry costing more than a dollar in energy costs.

How much extra time do you have to spend to save each dollar?

Do you get paid more than 30$ per hour after tax? If no then spending 2 minutes hanging up clothes would be worth. Nevermind the cost of the dryer.

Small animals. Don't you know how many squirrels & such die each year falling short attempting to jump between buildings?
