Mining pushes your GPU to the absolute limit, so it uses a fair amount of electricity. Some people use their mining rig to supplement or even replace house heating. Those in warmer areas aren't so lucky, the air conditioning has to work harder, which means more $ spent on electricity...
I calculated that with my old dedicated GFX setup (a very very modest 300Mhashes/sec... but it made me 12BTC over a few months) if I used the same hardware again today I would be netting less than 10c per day.
edit: hmm I think i got that calc wrong, would be <$1/day, not as low as <$0.10. Still peanuts.
