The Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has just approved a 50
percent rage hike!
Texas electricity will skyrocket as a result of last nights ruling by
the Texas PUC.
The peak rate was increased by 50 percent by the PUC.
The PUC has always been in the pocket of the utilities in Texas and
has always favored robbing the public it is supposed to represent.
This time, a monumental rate hike starting in the summer will
literally kill many who will not be able to afford to pay the new
rates that will soon impact their bill.
The millionaires at the PUC board have no problems paying their
electricity bill, so its hard for them to understand why a huge rate
hike will bother anyone.

Texas hsa a horrible legislature that acts like a group of kings and
queens They love all the under the table benefits they get for
sweetheart deals that rob Texans
The deregulation process here in Texas has been crafted in such a way
to benefit everyone but the end user.
Texans have become sheep. The more they get raped by the PUC, the
quieter they become.

Texas PUC Members were appointed by Rick Perry, Republican.
Next time try a Democrat for governor.

our last electric bill was minus $53 -- i.e., a credit. We have a
grid-tie solar electric system.

Ask Republican (recent presidential candidate) Rick Perry.
He appoints the Texas PUC members

Ahhh, the millionaires would have no problems paying their electricity
bill, huh? Now do you understand how wealthy the wealthy are and
their inherent greed and why they should be taxed more - to try to
bring them down to Earth and at least get them to relate more with the
small people, if not living among them?

Is this also Rick Perry's doing?
Obama’s War on Coal has already taken a remarkable toll on coal-fired
power plants in America.
Last week the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a
shocking drop in power sector coal consumption in the first quarter of
2012. Coal-fired power plants are now generating just 36 percent of
U.S. electricity, versus 44.6 percent just one year ago.
It’s the result of an unprecedented regulatory assault on coal that
will leave us all much poorer.
Last week PJM Interconnection, the company that operates the electric
grid for 13 states (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia) held its 2015
capacity auction. These are the first real, market prices that take
Obama’s most recent anti-coal regulations into account, and they prove
that he is keeping his 2008 campaign promise to make electricity
prices “necessarily skyrocket.”
The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural
gas – was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price
for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area
covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is
$167 per megawatt. For the northern Ohio territory served by
FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt.
Why the massive price increases? Andy Ott from PJM stated the obvious:
“Capacity prices were higher than last year's because of retirements
of existing coal-fired generation resulting largely from environmental
regulations which go into effect in 2015.” Northern Ohio is suffering
from more forced coal-plant retirements than the rest of the region,
hence the even higher price.
These are not computer models or projections or estimates. These are
the actual prices that electric distributors have agreed to pay for
new capacity. The costs will be passed on to consumers at the retail
level.
House Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.)
aptly explained: “The PJM auction forecasts a dim future where
Americans will be paying more to keep the lights on. We are seeing
more and more coal plants fall victim to EPA’s destructive regulatory
agenda, and as a result, we are seeing more job losses and higher
electricity prices.”

If you don't like the idea of government being a lapdog for corporate
interests, maybe you Texans should stop voting for the party of lapdog
corporate government.

€€ tnx ...and the price has halved since I bought mine. Naturally, the
local electric company would rather be selling me electricity at 31-cents
per KWH.

€€ just the cost of water needed to rinse accumulated dust off of the PV
panels. I do this with an oscillating sprinker on the roof. Kyocera
guarantees the panels for 20-yrs. I should break even at c. 17-yrs.
unless the price of electricity changes.

I pay 7.8 cents per kwh. Why would your electric company want to sell
you electricity at almost 400% more than I pay?

Good one??? More like blindingly stupid.
The clueless moron does not even begin to understand what the EPA (at
obama's direction) is trying to do to normal people and the cost of
our oil/gas/electricity.
