minus-squareTheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 days agoI just got off the phone with the local energy company. I was haranguing them about my bill being basically 25% more expensive that last year. They told me that the https://www.bpa.gov/ Bonneville Power Administration has increased their rate to the local power company by 25% all at once. Then I call the BPA and got forwarded to their “public affairs” office … and got a voicemail account. The government has been captured. And the government has jacked up the energy prices.
