Electric Rate Hike....how about you?
« on: July 27, 2022, 06:52:16 AM »
Well my electricity provider has just announced a  117% rate hike effective immediately. Announced by local TV  news, email, and newspapers.

How about GBO guys? Same thing?

They announced a price hike here, but not nearly that much, around $20 if I recall correctly.  But we get ours from the TVA, so that may be one of the differences.

   ...Just more "Democrat doings"! 

  Save your anger for the clowns who voted for the Democrats ! After all, they were certainly warned about the
    crooked stuff going on..

   Compared to today's Democrats, Tammany Hall was merely "child's play"...

And the EV people were laughing at gas prices.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Like I have said, the grid has to be made more robust and ALL power sources have to be used.  This is not only to keep rates low, but to protect the grid from EMP's and any terrorist threats via hacking or bombs.  This has to be done before going to electric cars.  Hybrids would today be better.  In a worse case senario you can run the gasoline engine in park for about 30 minutes to charge the batteries for the electric acceleration.
