Power!
This year (21 December to 21 December, because that's where the billing cycle rolls), I have used on average 642 watts of electricity, and 858 cubic metres of gas.
That is, if I remember my units and my GCSE physics correctly, enough electricity to smelt enough aluminium to make a seven-foot-high solid statue of myself, and enough methane to inflate a balloon larger than my house and capable of lifting that above-life-size statue.
I don't have any plans at present to divert my electricity and gas supply for 2009 entirely to that endeavour.

16 grams/mole, 24 litres/mole, 858000 litres = 572000 grams of methane, so even with the weight of the balloon that's enough to carry a fully-grown Bengal tiger.
I do not recommend tying Bengal tigers to methane-filled balloons.
