I've said it before, but this isn't a result of RI Energy just deciding to make more profit... it's RI Energy stocking up on natural gas when prices were super high this fall so we can make it through the winter without rolling blackouts. There are alternative suppliers you can buy from, but they're not cheaper!

It's a shitty situation for sure, but I'd say it's more "F*ck you fossil fuel based economy". At least RI has the most aggressive renewable energy target in the country and hopefully prices like this will be a thing of the past soon.
