They should pass it. Why should we be drilling pointless holes in our bumpers to display state mandated material. They don’t pay the 40k plus for the vehicle.

Best thing you can do is some in depth circuit metering. If you comfortable with electricity, it’s pretty straight forward. If your uncomfortable with it, an electrician will be able to set it up for you. It’s not an overnight project, I would recommend doing it for a month and calculating your loads.
It won’t be a 2 pole breaker, it will be your single pole breakers that are doing it.

Also the way electricity is metered, you may have one phase that sees most of your usage and the other is running very light. Cmp is reading the higher phase and billing you according to that, assuming both are the same. (Electrical metering is a joke and a scam in my opinion)
You have 2 phases of electricity fed into your home.
It may be as simple as some simple breaker/circuit labeling and some monitoring of usage of circuits and rearranging on the circuits in your panel.

It’s a state university with a budget bigger than we can imagine, yet it’s facilities are poor and run down, of course it’s got poor leadership.

People from the county will drive down to Bangor for lunch and drive back home. To say it doesn’t draw from the north isn’t accurate. Bangor just doesn’t have a lot of pull from any direction. However the north relies on it heavily as it is the closest place of convenience for a lot of things.

Except that transmission line that they could start building in Vermont - who has welcomed it - is too expensive. They would rather force us into something the state as a whole has said we don’t don’t want. Because dollah dollah bill yo.
Again, fuck em.

You believe that a monopolized company, owned by international corporations based out of this country are actually doing anything even remotely ethical and for the good of the people they have a monopoly over?
And you think we’re ignorant.

If mass wants renewable energy so bad, they can damn up there own rivers, and put wind turbines on there own mountains. Instead they pay us penny’s on the dollar to do it, and then say how wonderful of a thing they are doing. Fuck em

That corridor and its supporters can get bent.
They can go underground in Vermont. Keep that ugly eyesore elsewhere. Massachusetts signed up for unrealistic “renewable” power goals, they can get them themselves instead of stealing from the states around it.

Yes they are.
And until I get a bill from an electrical supplier that doesn’t pass money through CMP first you will never convince me otherwise.

Roads are a bit crappy at the moment, we just got home from boothbay to Portland. We still did 55 no problem, but the plows weren’t out in force being the middle of the night and it’s just started, buy 9 am tomorrow the highway will look like it’s raining out with all the salt they will put down.
That bus is going to Bangor on time, or early.
