I spoke to my neighbor up the hill, last night at Leroy's, and she said their electric bill for this month was almost DOUBLE from the month before!!!
Her bill was $47,000 this month & that's with NO AC!! She does have an elec. stove in her guest apt. & a pool, so the pump has to run and also an elec. dryer that she seldom uses. Last month it was $28,000.
We have an elec. stove in our main kitchen and no pool pump, but do have a water pump that has to be used to facilitate the upstairs apt., no clothes dryer, but do have AC which has not been in use. Now, I'm terrified to go to get MY bill from the post office!
She is not the only one....another neighbor said his bill doubled also! All of the gas hikes go on the customers bill....NOTHING is absorbed by the company because there are no regulations here!....we get screwed!....also no competition. Of course, if you don't pay your bill, they are there to cut you off in 5 days, with no notice!!
AND there is supposed to be a 10% increase on top of all that next month!! Folks, look for some price raises in resort rentals this year.....don't know how places could stay in business without doing it....
Those of you who are building....go solar all the way & stay off the frickin grid here, because it gone from bad to worser!!! My neighbor is seriously looking into it.....wish I could afford it, but hey, maybe I can't afford NOT to!
