I have lived in my current house for 10 years now. When I first moved down her my electric bills were dirt cheap. But went through the roof especially during the summer when the economy crashed. But the last two months it has been lower than I expected, and I won't bitch about that. But I wont pay this month's July bill till next month and I have been running my AC 24/7. My outdoor unit crapped out on me so I bought an indoor unit with the tube that sucks the heat out the window.
Not sure if our coal ash scandal didn't have something to do with greedy CEOs state wide considering what they charge. I do think solar is now outpacing fossil and natural gas. But I don't think one county or one company should have a monopoly on that. I think the individual home or individual biz should have their own so they don't have an extra bill.
