"Investigation" Into Utility Rate Hikes

[1075tech]

These people are really brain dead. Let's cut off supply, increase regulation, use the DEC to deny needed infrastructure, increase demand through electrification. We don't understand why prices are rising. Maybe they really do think electricity comes from an outlet in the wall or is generated by lightning bugs, butterfly wings, and unicorn farts.

I’m sure it’s corporate greed and not the demonrats fault.

Well, there is something going on that seems beyond the impacts of Democrat foolishness. In Jan/Feb of this year, my on-peak supply charges jumped 70% in one month. Not my usage, the charge per kwh.

Why did the corporations all get so greedy *after* Trump left office ?

If he was able to keep corporate greed in check, and Biden can't, doesn't that mean he was a much better POTUS ?

I don't know about where you're at, but the Hudson Valley lost Indian Point, something like 35% of the area's generating capacity. There was no plan to replace that electricity.

A friend who used to work there said the only way was to import hydroelectric from Canada. At 2-3x the cost.

Trickle down economics. I pay more, you pay more, we all pay more

Actually there is no transmission infrastructure to wheel the Ontario Hydro power (which is all Nuclear Generated) down to NYC. FUAC

Just wait until the green tree huggers see what the new high voltage transmission corridors do to the environment.
