My NY Greed bill last month was $570.
What does “NY Greed Bill” mean?
I'm convinced more than ever that the best plan, if possible, is to produce more of your own energy. Plus make your home more energy efficient to consume less energy without changing your lifestyle (i.e. keep the thermostat set to what you want).
My power bill (Alabama) last month was $169. My power bill + natural gas + gasoline would have been $751 if I hadn't had already converted my two natural gas appliances to electric, installed solar, and if we had driven our 1,411 miles last month in a gas car instead of our EV. And that's in a winter month. Over the past 12 months my power bills averaged $70.
My wife and I are looking at being more self-reliant in other ways. We've expanded our gardening to have more home grown food. (Honestly I don't know how far that'll go since we don't want to work as hard as farmers. LOL) We're looking at capturing rain water, but again I'm not sure that will get somewhere. Anything we can do to wean ourselves of what Big Govt is likely to over-regulate. Especially if the regulation is through pricing (making something too expensive for us to get as much as we need or want).
