Got a notice in the mail this week that my electric bill is going up 15% Apr 1. Went up 17% Oct 2007. Thats a total of 32% in 18 months.
I can’t wait for the new energy policy that makes my electricity cost more because of carbon taxes and lost generation capacity by killing new power plants..
And then they will use the carbon taxes to subsidize the poor so they can still afford electricity. As for the environment improving as a result of the carbon taxes......we know the answer.
