  > How much will my electric bill be reduced?

Your bill will be the same, or higher. But you'll be doing so much more with electricity. Push a button, and your clothes are clean in seconds. Push a button, and your beard is shaved in seconds. Push a button, and four of your five senses are entertained for hours.

Why cant you currently do those things then?

[dotancohen]

I'm unaware of a clothes washing machine currently on the market that finishes the job in seconds. I believe that the technology has yet to be introduced.

When it is, how many seconds-long washings will my cheaply-made shirts survive? My guess is nearly one.

I suppose that you don't remember when the microwave oven was introduced. Food warm in 60 seconds? Nuking it? It will destroy all the nutritional value, it was said. I remember people, including my family, excusing the fact that we owned a microwave oven with the phrase "hospitals use it".
