It's not like National Grid or Eversource or whoever is pumping it out of the ground here & charging whatever they want. They pay their suppliers for it & those increased costs get passed down to us.

I happened to be visiting MN last summer on the day that Excel published their electricity rate increases for this winter in the Star-Tribune in the tiniest font possible, they're getting a big rate increase there too.

The good news is that the two easiest things you can do - turning down the heat & wearing more layers - cost you absolutely nothing. The OK news is that ditching gas & the grid with battery+solar is a little easier & cheaper than it used to be, but it'll take a bit before it pays for itself. The best news of all is that you don't live in Texas.
