The more of these client you want to run this way, the higher your electricity bill is going to be That's not the right thinking. Said 30 EUR (electricity is pretty expensive in Germany) is coming on top. Imagine many clients - all of a sudden you are paying 100 EUR more... Let's agree that it [I]should[/I].
