When I built my house, I went to the extra expense of getting it TVA
certified (Tennessee Valley Authorithy). They had a program where I
could get sort of a rebate for the extra cost. The rationale for that
was that they would need less generating capacity if new homes were
insulated and other stuff.

Well, our local power distributer here has changed my electric meter 3
times because they couldn't believe that I was using so little
electricity.

Now, they've calibrated the meter to put me equal to the neighbors.
