You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Some company (electricity provider) charged someone $11k during a major snowstorm because of "surge pricing".

When I move I am going to have a minimum of 3 ways to generate my own power and will be trying to run off it as often as possible. Can you imagine getting a fucking $11k power bill because you don't want to freeze to death?

So, the short version is that the deregulation allowed the creation of middle men to fuck everyone without providing anything useful at all while filling their pockets. Or at least that seems to be how it reads.

That's pretty much what it boils down to. jews would also be an acceptable answer.

On another note, yeah. My power bill has gone up a TON without me changing anything about how we live. If anything I have made the house more energy efficient and it still costs more. Its not even remotely close to what inflation would bump the bill by. I can not wait to get out of this commie shithole so I can work on my own generation and storage systems...

Until they make that illegal too. (Something, something, cold dead hands).

Your terms will be acceptable to (((them))). They'll freeze you dead.

They will try. I refuse to have less than 3 methods of heating. They really won't like me burning wood... Maybe I should be saying by THEIR cold dead hands...
