(9,214 posts)more than the cost of the electricity used. Apparently this transportation fee doesn't have a rainy day fund attached to it because since the ice storm earlier this year we are paying approximately an additional $50 fee/month to pay for the line repairs necessitated by the storm.
What cost is there to the electric company other than a two way meter that probably is already charged to the customer?
If I own a dam what fee would I have to pay to sell my electricity to a power company, a nuclear plant, how about a coal fired plant?
Let the power companies get their profit the same way they do from them, pay them less for the electricity than they charge customers for it.
We need to start treating these monopolies a little more harshly, a guaranteed 5% return on stock is more than I can get for a savings account at the local bank. That should be enough. Of course with your name you could probably come up with a better formula.
And as far as the federal land is concerned, $1.35/month would still be freeloading if Bundy was even paying the fees. In New York I had two cows and almost enough pasture just for the summer months. For the fall, spring, and winter I needed hay that costs more than $1.35 per bale and a full grown cow will eat a bale per day plus grain when there is no outside feed. My taxes on that acreage cost me over $1000/year. So tell me again how Bundy isn't a freeloader.
