Electric rates under watch

A proposal by National Grid to increase the average residential customer's utility bill by 5.5 percent next year has come under scrutiny by the state Attorney General's office.

[just me]

they'll get what they ask for just the same as insurance companies and local goverment always get their share. Why complain of a 5.5 % raise when the goverment just got a 26% raise in the sales tax but thats not crippling to the consumer is it?

Wait when oBUmmma's laws (crap and pay) will go into effect! Even he confirmed that energy cost will go up 30 -40%. Thank you God damned dermoRATs for eating us alive. The most weird thing that massholes will keep voting for the same enemies of mankind who are actively destroying our energy supplies and development.(For sake of children of out grandchildren of course)

[OhMy]

We can thank Danny Bosley (fatso) for our high electric rates. He pushed thru the legislation to "lower our rates" .. Hey Fatso, where are the so called "lower rates" ????

[Check mate]

And where is the outrage when 10/10 representatives vote for cap and trade last week? Barrett is crying about 5.5%, what about the 30% through this bill? We'll see how the senators vote but I think we all know how they are going to vote ahead of time.

obama wants our electric bills to "skyrocket," yet we vote for him.

Madness!

Its about time the electric company started finding ways to cut cost instead of passing it on to the consumers all the time.
When my bills go up I can't go to my employer and ask for a raise. I have to find ways to cut corners. Maybe its time for electic company and gas company to start finding ways to make it on what they already charge.
