The average cost per kilowatthour ofelectricity in OG&E served homes is 3.21cents which is a very low wage, par-ticularly when you consider that theenergy expended in one kilowatthour ofelectricity is 1/3 more than could be ex-pended by a strong horse working 1hour . . . or 1 strong man working about28 hours.

So when you pay your electric bill pleaserealize that you are paying for work thathas been performed for you, tirelesslyand efficiently . . . and for a very, verylow wage .
