Maybe your son is smart enough to not "tell his wife" when to dry the clothes. Maybe he's even able to operate a dryer on his own after 7 PM. Even if it is a household job she agrees to manage, perhaps she likes her evening free of running the dryer. So after running the program to find potential savings options, somehow TELLING your wife when to run the dryer smacks of a serious case of stupid if not outright misogyny. While I recognize you were picking a possible savings finding, your choice might reflect an unrecognized view of gender roles and authority that should have ended with Leave it to Beaver.
By the way..

In the .U.S., it costs approximately 45 cents to dry a load of laundry in an electric dryer, based on a 5,600-watt dryer, 40-minute run-time, and a 12-cent-per- kilowatt-hour rate
