Likewise, you should also try to avoid using the super hot cycle in a dryer to save energy. Using the hot settings on a washer and dryer can significantly increase the energy use in your home. As a result, you will see high energy bills if you choose to constantly wash clothes using hot water and dry clothes on the super hot cycle.
Which is more expensive fossil fuels or solar energy?
It depends on how you use it. If you use a solar close dryer ( a clothes line) it would use less electricity than an electric clothes dryer. But what about your time? If it took you half an hour to hang up and take down the clothes and your time is worth $8 an hour? You could say that the labor cost is $4. If it only took one minute to put the clothes in an electric dryer and the dryer used $1 worth of electricity you would actually save time. And like they say time is money. So there are a lot of ways of looking at it. Solar energy does make a lot of sense when you use it in a remote location where you don't have access to power lines.
