But then my job would suffer because those 6 minutes per hour he plays games, he gets his latest gadget greasy. Then he brings it to me for cleaning. How can I charge him $150 per week to clean it if he doesn't play?

I'd still run things like heat and cooling off the power companies grid along with washing machine and dryer. The savings there would be huge alone.
