My power bill last month was $353!!! There is no natural gas in my town. I think it has something to do with the power company paying off officials. The power company charges me $170+ for the power, and then charges me nearly the exact same amount for FUEL. They are charging me on both sides of their generator. I'm paying for electricity so they can buy the generators, and I'm paying for the fuel to put into the generator. It's insane.
These guys shut down the power for a lot of poor and elderly people and were also incredibly rude to them so one day when someone's family member on life support at home died because they cut off the power of them went to their offices and shot up a bunch of people. Their answer wasn't to provide discounts for needy people and it wasn't to improve their customer service skills or to treat people with respect. Their answer was to close down all of their offices so they don't have to deal with customers in person. Instead you have to go to a check cashing place if you want to pay your bill in person. I have a brand new front loading gas dryer I bought a year ago for $750 and I can't even use it because we have no gas here. It's crazy. My wife made me spend another $750 to buy the electric version of the same dryer to match our washer. Now I'm trying to sell the other dryer and I'm having no luck because other people don't have gas either. I hate cooking with electricity. I prefer gas. Everything in the house runs on electricity including the pump to bring in water. It's a good thing I don't have any house payments.
