Get ready for big electric bills

Gas Prices Triple Under Joe Biden, Consumer Electricity Bills Expected to Skyrocket This Summer



Natural gas prices reached a new high on Friday in front of the Memorial Day weekend.

As Steve Cortes explains – this is going to crush the American consumer. Americans who were paying $122 a month last year on their electricity will be paying $172 a month this year on electricity.

Natural gas accounts for 40% of our electricity needs in America today.

the government has great $$ plans to subsidise for
going solar..

You mean tax people who could care less about going solar, or bribing utility companies to overcharge people for using any form of energy.

Someone always pays in the end.

That is true--but- get it when you can while you can.
It is the way it's been and is.

Still waiting you to post proof of your $1,400 utility bill

What about the millions of people that live in apartment buildings .. How do they "go full solar"?
...Millions more people rent the houses where they live .. Why pay tens of thousand$ to "go full solar" in someone else's house? Millions have trees around their house, which - not only block the sun but risk falling branches damaging the panels

Millions live in flood, hurricane, tornado areas ..A good flood could short the whole system and ruin the batteries ..A good hurricane or tornado could blow the roof into another neighborhood ..solar panels woth it

Not everyone was born with a silver spoon up their ass .. The initial cost to "go full solar" is more than the majority of people can hope for
.. There are other people in the world, Temple .. with different priorities, in different areas and different lives than you .. Everything isn't about you
..You do you and everyone else will do the same

Avg Monthly Electric Bill   Solar System Size   Total Installed Cost (Before Incentives)
$60 5 kW $23,850

$23,850 / 60 = 397.5 months to reach the break-even point. That's 33 years.

And here I am just hoping to last another couple of months til my next birthday.

Came across this today .. From what i understand you still hafta pay your power company a fairly large percent of the electricity or KWs you use .. Not to mention the huge monthly bill for the system itself, as most people hafta finance .. Unlike MoneyBags Temple, of course, who can just toss money at everything in his path
