      Where I live the power company wants a 30% increase because, according to them, the price of natural gas has been too volatile. Yet the conservative consumers are blaming it on renewables.

    My electricity statement showed the second rate reduction in 2 months. This would explain why.

    Somehow I doudt that I received the full benefit but at least it went down which is more than I can say about petrol prices.

      They’ve maximised the efficiency of getting a barrel of oil out of the ground.

      Renewables will keep getting cheaper though.

    Fuck if we did.

    Power companies need to be in the hands of the people. Communist this shit up. They do not require to be for profit.
