The electric company keeps adding extra charges, so even if your usage goes down, the totals go up! Grrrr.

Exactly! Part of it I’m sure had to do with the “war on coal” since a significant portion of our electrical system used coal. We don’t have that much nuclear.

We have the Hanncock Amendment - new taxes have to be approved by the voters. So people just wouldn’t vote to raise taxes the electric companies wanted to build more Nuclear facilities. Not to mention the NIMBYs.
