I agree, I am all for clean air; however we need new energy sources in place before we just take the old out of commission.

Granted coal plants pollute - but it's pollution we can "live with" unlike FukYouShima and the other deadly nuclear plants...

With all the NASA talk about how the sun is going Kablooey and can effect the grid - how will we cool those plants then?

At least with a coal plant you just stop adding coal and it goes out..

thats high i have a 2/2 with a hot tub on 24/7, computer on 24/7, three video cameras covering front and back 24/7 and the air on 77 and mine is 90 a month.

if i got rid of the hot tub and kept the computer off it would be even less.

that seems very high.
Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~

Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~

Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~

“When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.”

If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.

I used to fully believe in the nuclear industry. After Fukashima I am in full agreement. The impact on the world will be noticeable in Japan, and spread.

Power costs really depend on which unit you get in a complex. My dad has a middle unit and rarely has to run his a/c or heat, but the ones on the ends with 3 exterior walls or a roof/attic are running theirs all the time. Not sure if stomping people upstairs and flushing toilets all around is worth the tradeoff, though.

we said this during the obama campaign that this would happen.

its happening & its coming
political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Guys remember that Electric Companies charge by Kilowatts/hour.. ( "x" amount of dollars )

To compare both bills, also need to compare how many kilowatts/hours are you using from the grid..

In both cases anyway it looks to me pretty high..
Life its not measure by the number of breath you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The plan is to keep America asleep and solvent for as long as possible so the USA military can continue to be the tip of the spear.

America last under the bus, because we made it.

Why would the elites want to fuck with a country that is completely asleep, completely controllable, and also extremely willing to fight in war?

America is perfect just the way you are, don't ever change. cruise

PS It's also worth noting this is due to voluntary plant closures... doesn't sound too doomy really.
