I get to choose who’s gonna screw me

     After more than a decade of capped rates for the generation portion of my bill, the rate cap expires on 12/31/2009.  In other words, our electric company will be hiking their rates.  “Up your’s Mr. or Ms. Average Citizen who is barely keeping your head above water as it is, we are gonna get a bigger piece of you.”

     However, even though we’ll still get two pieces of you, you can now choose who gets that third larger bite out of your ass.  Will it be us?  We guarantee you that your new rate is going to shock and awe you.  Will you go to one of the companies that we aren’t naming right now, later? 

     Later?  Come on, you are giving me less than a month to research rates of companies who I have no idea what they are even named and oh yeah, you really haven’t given me any incentive to stay with you.

     What the $%@&# do you think I’m going to do?  I’m a high class electrical power whore.  I want the company who’s gonna screw me the least.  Wine me, dine me, make me a good offer, and I’ll make you mine.

  1. If there is anything to do at this point your public utility commission would be the place to get in touch with. They do have a web site, and would have the most current information about options. Best of luck.

  2. Mainly I was bitchin’ because I got two envelopes stuffed with reams of paper in the mail yesterday, all written in legalese, about how our rates are gonna take a jump and how we can choose which rat bastard company was going to take a bite out of us.

    Fortunately I have a computer and can look it up–for those who don’t well, they are completely screwed and will have to jump through the many phone hoops to find out anything

    I’ve looked up all the stuff from the PUC and our local electric company and so far it seems that the profit hog we have is the lesser of the evils.
