Inflation hits the thermostat. A classic boundary error where private comfort externalizes public infrastructure risk. Electricity bills are expected to jump an average of 10.5%, to $792, nationwide ... Evidence: stable utility costs, families forced into poverty, energy as a right

The narrative frames rising electricity bills as an inevitable market force or weather event. It suggests that individuals must simply budget better or use tips to survive. The claim is that the system is neutral, just expensive. Stated Judgement: (0.0, 0.0) — Neutral

The reality is a structural extraction. Middle-class families are pushed into poverty, children miss out on basic joys, and the 'working poor' are denied aid. The cost of survival is weaponized against the vulnerable. Resulting Judgement: (-1.0, -1.0) — Greater Evil

As summer heat intensifies, the cost of basic climate control is pricing families out of their own homes. A systemic failure where essential infrastructure becomes a luxury good. Electricity Bills Expected to Jump 10.5%

The claim is that rising energy costs are a result of market fluctuations and temperature demands, with the government offering tips to help families manage their bills. Stated Judgement: (-0.5, -1.0) — Lesser Evil

The reality is that middle-income families are being squeezed out of basic stability, with energy costs rising 40% since 2020 while wages stagnate. Resulting Judgement: (-1.0, -1.0) — Greater Evil

My bill is typically -$5 to -$10 (yes, negative numbers) including charging TWO EVs. It's only in the summer when my electricity bill goes positive.

This is what happens when Trump and friends work overtime to upend the energy grid. They want fossil fuels nearly exclusively and treat very important and substantial green energy like it isn't relevant. It's very relevant - and will be even more relevant - regardless of Trump and his morons say.

In My State, Electricity Rates Can't Exceed 3.5% Rate Increases, And Need Regulator Approval Before Those Rate Increases Can Even Go Into Effect. Residential Has A Higher Priority For Rate Stability, Leaving Corporate Usage Liable To Make Up The Difference. (CONT)

What happens when you force people to subsidize coal while using tax payer money to pay off companies to stop delivering cheap wind power. Our leaders are criminally insane.

I refuse to give the Ellisons money with the merger going through, but I'm hoping that means the 3-month average and not monthly. Even then, I think that's more than half what I've ever paid in a year for a 1300sq condo in Colorado. We do have some of the cheaper electric bills, though.

1600 sq ft and mine has never been 500 in one month, summer averages 250 to 300 mostly, then at least one month over 400 before it drops again.

States need to approve plug-in solar now. The cost of electricity is becoming a catastrophe for the average person. Data centers need to provide their own electricity.

balcony solar is fine, but both it and rooftop are still hit by needless tariffs which drive costs up compared to almost anywhere else globally. Have to be v careful on the latter you don't want them all adding GTs.

Now, now CNN, that’s not very Ellison like. Next month it better be “Americans thrilled to spend freedom dollars for comfort!”

Not if you have solar and a battery. Your bill will be nonexistant. What are you waiting for America? Oil is old technology. We've moved on. Time to lower your bills. Don't expect govt support, as they know electrcity companies are freaking out while they watch their monopoly collapse.
