This week, I went with my mom on random errands that took forever. We were in the washing machine department for a long time, so I began to read the labels on each machine. I went from machine to machine and calculated that the average amount of electricity a washing machine uses for one load of laundry is 2.2 kilowatts.
This got me thinking: if you had an extremely large family... a sports family who uses multiple pairs of clothes a day and you did one load of laundry everyday, that would be 15.4 kilowatts per week, just for laundry. If you began to add up electricity for lights, refrigerators, ovens, TVs, computers, you begin to really pity Egor down at the power plant, lifting all those one Newton Weights one meter high.
