ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners in assault on clean energy

[bucolic_frolic]

14. There's a tax or fee for everything

not sure what the status of energy is in various states

for those in deregulated energy states, the fees are unreal

I used to get a bill, the electric company owned everything, it was
one fee

Now the list of charges grows and grows

Each component of energy has been vivisected into parts for fees

Line fees, generation, transmission, tax, billing fee $10

I'f turn the whole thing off if I could, like i did cable TV

And the energy suppliers ... are now UNregulated, but what consumer knows that?

My last supplier raised my fee from about 7.2 cents to 9.89 cents

I asked why? Because there was an energy spike that would have made
your rate higher, so we converted everyone to a flxed rate

So you have to check your bill each month

I found a natural gas generator at 6.99 cents fixed for 12 months

and there may or may not be a disconnect or change supplier fee
with these plans
