    Government people only care about power. It is true particularly about men. Why, because women are attracted to men who have power over other men.

    We haven't seen a 3x increase here, but not for lack of effort by government.

    My bills currently are down ... down here in South Florida - no need for heat and most days not too hot yet for A/C.

    IOW no change at all.

    You didn't even bother to read the article you posted.

    Rates are going up 50%, not tripling.

    "in April when regulated prices look set to rise by more than 50%"

    Here in PA my electric rates went up 7% this year.

    My rates stayed the same. Just over 9 cents per kwh. I think they are able to do this because most people here have solar and they put laws in place so nobody can own a solar battery so if you don't use it as its being produced, you have to sell it back to them for less than 6 cents per kwh.
