here in the town i live in we recently had an avalanche take out power transmission lines from our hydro dam in the time it takes them to repair those 90% of our power is coming from diesel generators(you should have cringed there) causing the price per kWh to go up 500% for what might be the next 3 months.currently i make enough that i can live with a bill 5 times higher than im used to, but a couple of years ago that would have got me kicked out of my apartment because there was no way in hell i could find an extra 300 bucks a month with a week or two notice.its been a big deal here, but we are notorious complainers, so im wondering if that situation would cause you to write letters to editors and complain to everyone who will listen all day long?
I could afford it, but I'd definitely start looking at solar panels or my own wind generator. I am sick of being gouged by the power companies--especially since where I live, you would DIE in the winter without heat.
My Electric bill in high season is around $350/Month If it was 500% more it would be $1750/Month If it was me I would tell them what to do with their power and use candles, or move in with someone else.
no i pay about $100 a month as it is. my bill would over $500 a month. thats more than my car payment and almost as much as my apartment $590
im currently going to school, and paying rent, so i would'nt get by if my life depended on it
yes it went up by 76.865 %
