Full Moon Overcharges: Your Electric Bill Spikes $47 on Average During Lunar Cycles, New Data Reveals
Turns out that werewolf tax is real, and it’s hitting your wallet every 29.5 days. A newly leaked utility report shows that household energy consumption jumps an average of 12% during a full moon—costing families an extra $47 on their monthly bills. Why? More porch lights left on all night, later bedtimes meaning more TV and AC use, and even some smart thermostats bumping down temperatures due to increased nocturnal activity. To protect your budget, unplug vampire devices and set your outdoor lights on a timer before the next lunar glow—or prepare for another silver-dipped sting at your mailbox.
