What is that in money, 50 bucks? (Live in Germany, we have very high energy prices, so I relly don't know. Single in 50sqm Appartment, paying 47euros per month for a 100% renewable plan.)

Depends where in the US -- In Texas (as long as there aren't any blizzard-driven blackouts with accompanying rate spikes), retail electricity costs something like $0.10/kWh. In California, it's closer to $0.20/kWh.

So roughly somewhere between $70-$150.
