Average Price of Electricity Climbs to All-Time Record

Really, I knew this would happen...which is why I have solar. Well, actually, the reason I have solar is to be independent, but this doesn't hurt...

I guess it's too depressing for people to reply.

My electric bills have been $400 a month for the past 5 months.... but, i live in phoenix, and a.c. is a bitch.

In 2008 the World Health Organization (WHO) and other organizations calculated that coal particulates pollution cause approximately one million deaths annually across the world,[5] which is approximately one third of all premature deaths related to all air pollution sources.[34]

This is obviously ridiculous in this day and age ... what a fail.

Every household in USA should have free energy devices ... like a decade ago.

So , these are the chronicles of a so-called advanced society in the land of the free?

Is it just me or has the "land of the free" become an empty marketing ploy? ... No wonder why even corporate america is leaving the "Corporation of the United States".

So? In the USA all coal fired plants are scrubbed and clean. They only release the trace gas CO2 which is vital for life on Earth.

Down here in Texas I can see that mountain in Mexico obliterated by Mexican coal fired plants that have no scrubbers or any other kind of emission control. The USA buys that electricity.

This isn't about the environment. Its about destroying the middle class and turning American into another Mexico. A land of Billionaires and paupers.

BTW you are designated as a future pauper.

Free energy interferes with a policy of total control.

:gasprices:

I have a contract for 11 cent per kwh per 2016 and thought I was ripped off. I guess I'm lucky.

BTW Im in a standard size house with great insulation in southwest Texas and barely crack 100 bucks/mo

corrupt

Bankrupt the coal industry?! You mean the industry that requires government subsidies shipping facilities to be built along the West coast just to get rid of it. It is selling so cheap to the world we have a huge surplus. The US can't get rid of it fast enough.

Yep. It's gone up.

Only the one star bandit voting shows how stupid people how become

Where is my paycheck!?

Prove what I posted wrong, then you will be vindicated (on the internet) and you will educate us all.

WELL DUH! That's what happens when you force impossible emissions controls and close a ton of power plants, the price of your power goes up.

Hoax and Chains bitches!!!

Obama would had been an excellent president for Africa.

But then again, Obama did a good job exposing TPTB.

I haven't paid for electricity for five years coming up on six.

I run my entire home with solar and wind generators. I've got a bank of 8 deep cycle batteries. Solar is the primary source and two wind generators are the shady day back up. As a final back up I have a Honda 2000 suitcase generator that will run a 60 Amp charger to top off the bank.

I use 12 volt appliances and inverters for everything 120.

There is no need to be dependent on the electric company. I put my system together for a couple grand. It's long since paid for itself.

Yeah our bill doubled from May to July. The in fine print "You may know an increase in your rates. This is due to our summer pricing." Electric doubled in price due to the heat, because why? Because people run their A/C and electric companies are scumbags.

One day you should check your meter, throw the main breaker on your house, then check the meter again at the end of the day.

You be getting robbed.
