@runes The lowest tier of power charges used to go up to 500 kWh, and it was cheap. We live in a very small house, and aside from August and whatever winter month ended up being coldest, we are always consistently under are very near 500 kWh a month. Since that damn snowstorm, they changed the tiers, and now it’s the first 300 kWh, and it’s no longer so cheap. And of course, we’ve been using so much more power this summer, because no way I can open windows in the morning and evening like I used to, because it’s already 90° outside shortly after sunrise, and it stays hot until midnight. And then there’s the "surcharge", due to that same snowstorm, that I guess we'll be paying forever that doubles whatever our energy cost was for that month. Our electric bill is going to put us in a dire financial situation if something doesn’t give somewhere soon.

@runes Yeah, their whole mission is to get rid of wind and solar. I’m like what did you guys do before we had those? Do that. We have the capacity in other forms, but they want the money and they want renewable gone, because those don’t make them as much money. It’s win win for them to make it look like there’s a crisis and it’s all the fault of green energy.
