Warning: I just realized my 'energy efficient' heat pump was running on dirty power from my local grid in Phoenix.
My bill was still high, so I checked the real-time grid mix online and saw it was 60% natural gas during peak hours, which completely negates the point of switching from a gas furnace last fall.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling. The whole sell is green energy and lower bills, but the grid's still mostly fossil fuels. Makes the switch feel pointless. You gotta check if your utility offers a real clean energy plan or time-of-use rates.

But doesn't every bit of green demand help push the whole grid that way, mark_hernandez12?
