Re: Most Illinois Opt-Out Aggregations Approved; Illinois Electric Customers Must Exercise Right to Shop for Lower Rates

Wanda Jean — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:41:47 -0000

Wow, your numbers and some statements are way off, when not entirely false. Please do responsible fact-checking: There is not one municipal entity in the State of Illinois in which any resident pays any money to it to exit an opt-in program. There is one village in which a resident must pay the *supplier* a fee as high as $25-$50 to leave a program. $250 is just plain wrong. Residents can save up to 40% off supply; none of the programs' savings instituted to date (the 19 towns in 2011 that completed a program) are as low as 5-10 percent. The actual factual savings are 23 to 30 percent, and in 2012 approaching 40 percent--a rate of $0.0464 per kWh. Your blog is fear-mongering, as far as misstating actual facts. Are your offered rates as low as $0.0464? Kindly respond

Please check your facts and the rates posted on your own link. The latest Illinois community to contract for Municipal Aggregation (Erie, IL) received a rate of .05471 kWh, well below the lowest rate on your chart of .0612. Hope people check the facts, and save their money, before getting swindled by these companies.

Re: CFLs: Are They Worth It?

Rpjasin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:18:01 -0000

This article is bogus. CFLs do not last any longer than incandecsent bulbs in my home. I've gotten so irritated with the short life, I've started to date code them with a black marker when I install them. I've been getting 2.5-3 years out of them, and then its a pain to have to get rid of them. I had one break in the "return to Home Depot" box and had to deal with that cleanup issue. More government interference with our lives as I see it, they save energy, yes, but I should be the one to decide where to use them and not have the government force them on me with bogus staements like "they last 10x times the life of standards bulbs".

the request of Oncor during peak times. Through the Commercial Load

Re: Texas Co-Op Customers Have No Recourse if Unsatisfied with Electric Provider

PEC IN MY OPINION ARE A BOUNCH OF CROOKS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THEM IS THAT THEY ARE NOT REGULATED BY THE PUC.
WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE BUYING ELECTRICITY FROM THESE THIEVES.
WE LIVE IN BOERNE AND ALL MY NEIBORS THINK THE SAME.
WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN ANDCALL 911 JUST TO OPEN YOUR BILL FROM THESE THIEVES.
SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY CHOICE I HAVE IS TO MOVE TO A PLACE WHERE I HAVE A CHOICE OF MY SERVICE PROVIDER.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE CROOKS TO MY WORST ENEMY.

Re: Rate Hike for Austin Energy Customers Shows Danger from Monopoly Power Provider

This article is full of inuendo and does not provide any concrete facts. How much are Austin customers paying? How does that compare to the state as a whole? Does Austin charge a similar Transmission Charge that the TDSP's do?

The problem that is the rising cost of fuel. Although you have seen significant improvement in fuel prices. You are still paying for the same price of gasoline and the prices in the country may have stabilized a little bit but it will never go down.
