Bigger PSU = Bigger Bills?

Looking to upgrade my 7800GT later this year for a DX10 card. However I am unsure if my 480W Tagan will provide enough juice, but the proof is always in the pudding as they say :D

The problem is running costs, If I need a new PSU I would get a Seasonic 700W, but that seems like it will just suck so much power that it will cost a fortune in leccy :( The reason I say this is that I have my PC, my partners PC (which is about 30% slower than my rig) and a laptop running most nights as we're both gamers. Obviously I have noticed a big increase in my bill but I wondered if it would increase by a lot with a 8800GTS/GTX and the new PSU?

It seems that us PC Gamers are doing the environment no good by drawing out so much juice! I bet it won't be long till we're taxed on it lol!!! :p
