Seriously, I have worked very, very HARD at getting my electric bill down from a high of $400/month (ex ran a business out of here) to the $120/month it is now. I, myself, have little wiggle room left for higher utility costs.
(Good thing I look smashing by candlelight, LOL!)
Baraq and several members of his cabinet (Steve Chu and Lisa Jackson) are ON THE RECORD as favoring high energy prices.
Republicans need to use this as a sledgehammer in advertising in the 2012 elections.
To all the fixed incomer’s that voted for Obama, SUCKERS.
Ex? Ex??? Does this mean you are available???
};^P>
Didn’t we already see a couple of spikes due to the green energy pacts some of our midwestern democrat governors signed?
Let’s be clear. This problem can be laid directly at the feet of the Obammunists.
I saw her first.
Last winter, in the name of “conservation” my idiot natural gas company decided to charge more per unit the more you use. It was not based on the size or age of the building. Just a number they pulled out of the air..
Needless to say, my business that is in a old drafty building got hit with this rate that was 4 times higher than the lowest rate..
I dumped the gas company like a bad habit and switched to electric heat. (6.1 cents a kilowatt hour)
Now I think I’ll buy a wood stove and go to my inlaws and chop some wood.
Ours has been close to $200 per month all summer. Our home is about 1300 sq feet. We cannot take much more of a “hike.”
Coal stoves are good, too. No chopping. Good Wyoming coal.
ya but I’m in Minnesota ;)
I could go with a corn burner. LOTS of corn in MN.
I hear ya! I’m down to bare bones and have been out of work for 6 weeks due to an injury, so that’s 6 weeks of pay I’m out, too. Grrrr! That’s really gonna hurt my bottom line...
It’s getting increasingly hard to be my usual Pollyanna self around here!
The whole idea is to break the back of the the American people and to try and make them give up and not fight this stuff. Little do they know. Most companies worth their salt, puts away a certain percentage of their income for upgrades and improvements. If the electric companies haven’t done this, they should be forced to do so.
Why, yes. Yes, I am. I’m ‘between engagements’ at the present. :)
Freepmail me with your best offer because I’m not going to be on the market for long, LOL!

We could nurse you back to health...
Cuts in LIHEAP will force many poor people from their homes. They’ll go to public housing and get, for example, $800/month year round for rent instead of $400 a month in two or three winter months. Taxpayers will pick up the tab.
The clunker homes they lived in will deteriorate further, in many cases.
I’m old, beat-up, broke, unemployed, worn out, used hard and put away wet. What’s not to like?
(Did I mention homely?)
Can you make a decent Martini? That’s REALLY what’s most important in a relationship, LOL!
