But yeah, it doesn't surprise me that Iceland is top of that list, they have tons of cheap electricity thanks to their geothermic power plants. Canada also has cheap electricity thanks to it's hydro electric power plants.


Following precident, we use that much gas because it's cheap. :-D

Well, probably not. An increase in gas prices usually just makes me complain alot, even if the amount I spend a week only changes a few dollars. It's wierd how we complain so much about gas prices, but if the gas price remained the same and the money left our pockets for something else unrelated we wouldn't even notice.
