Our first apartment was 300 square feet. We were newlyweds and still in that "cozy stage," so it wasn't a problem. Three years later we were packed to the gills and longed for a little breathing room, so we moved into a 1,200 square foot house. Wow, so much extra space. In what seemed like the time it took to unpack, the place mysteriously filled to capacity. Three years later we moved into an 1,800-square-foot house with a big family room addition and double-car garage. Again, whatever that filling thing is, it kicked in, and soon we were full to the rafters. Twelve years later we moved into a house twice the size, where we still reside -- and you guessed it, we're full. Paring down, cleaning out and simplifying has become an unrelenting challenge. Recently, I did a lot of that paring down and cleaning out. Today, I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, I have that wonderful "clean" feeling because I just got back control of several closets and rooms in our house.

"Our new energy statement is really a credit to our customers' thoughtful advice on how to make it work for them," said Helen Burt, Chief Customer Officer at PG&E. "They told us what they need to know each month and suggested how we could better tell that story. The result is much more than a bill. It's a powerful tool for helping customers take charge of their energy use and hopefully save money in the process. It's particularly timely given the impact that hot summer weather has on customer energy usage and electric bills." Customers can choose to access their new energy statements online through October.
