Mega Power Bill

Alright, so our usual KUB bill (oil, water, electric) is usually around 200 a month. This month, 460! Damned oil is expensive as shit.

I forgot they use oil to heat homes back east. I'm curious about it now, is it piped to you or do you have a holding tank of oil?

We got 'em up here in the NW too. About a third of the houses I have lived in had oil heating (depends on when it was built). It is in an external holding tank in these cases.

Go solar!

I don't pay a dime for my electricity.

It's piped to me. Still sucks that it's so damned expensive. It's like double what my parents are paying about a county over, and they have a house double the size

.

I want double paned windows and insulation.

And I was mad mine was $100. If I build a house I plan on using good design and solar power so I won't have an electric bill.

It will end up being 115 a person, but still... that's somewhat outrageous for a 4 bedroom ranch.

Heres your solution, Turn off all the lights, turn off the heat, Dress in ur best winter cloths, Get a big oil drum, fill it with trash in the center of ur living room, and light it on fire. Problem solved.

go outside, fill barrel with logs, drink beer, idle conversation optional.

Shit i wish mine came in at that. Damn progress energy sticking it to every customer. My average electric bill is 300 during the winter and 450 during the summer.
