I am agreeing with you and adding:

Until this year my biggest electric expense was the motor on my gas furnace (which is missing from your list). It is not the largest user per hour but it runs an awful lot during the winter. (This year my largest expense is the electric heater I had installed in the floor on an addition that did not have another good heat source)

Of course I don't use many of the things on that list because it is more efficient to have, as an example, a gas dryer rather than an electric one. And it is possible to have a gas or LP fridge but they cost more to start and there is less selection.

If you read articles from people who really know, they install their own systems and it is quite complicated and they still have to cut what they use drastically just like your experience in Indonesia.

Cuts are the future of energy use if dems get their way. It may be the future anyway.
