Electric a sector that has guaranteed profit I feel so sad for them.
Instead of raising rates may they could cut back some. |

The only downside is many lower income families will suffer more. They often do not have the means to pay higher utility bills nor incorporate many of the energy savings methods that are very effective...I suppose there will eventually (if not already) another Gov subsidy for utility bills as well.

If they cut back, less people would be calling the solar installers.. Less people would be going off the grid.. But, they are too shortsighted to understand they are going to drive down power use even more. (Increase gas to $7 a gallon and increase bicycle use by %40).. 22.24 cents per KWH... Sure seems high. It has me looking at the backyard and wondering about adding some real solar back there.. Make a real solar farm like this one.. The problem is, how high should it be off the ground? Snow is getting deeper by the year.. Turns out, 3 feet is no longer high enough..

22.24 cents per kWh is high, but so is the cost of moving to where electricity is cheaper. My challenge is staying ahead of the ever increasing cost curve on all my expenses in life. When the highest monthly electric bill for my all electric house is $68, I've got money to devote to other things... |
