Yeah, I got that e-mail as well. Since my last kid left a year ago, I’ve always been in Tier 1 and my bills have been only $33 to $66 mo for a 4/2/2 SFR. I’m going to get slammed by next spring when there are only two tiers.
So much for being an energy conservationist. I feel the two-tiered system will be very unfair to single-person households with no A/C or pool. We will undoubtedly end up subsidizing energy-hog households and they shouldn’t be my problem …. at all.[/quote]
Actually bigger users have been subsidizing your lower cost for a long time. A lot of energy cost is sunk costs like the infrastructure to deliver it and produce it. The fuel itself is relatively cheap all things considered. Solar with net metering has the same advantage where they win while they’re neighbors pick up the tab. Granted I don’t use a lot of power so I’ll get hit too but I’m not surprised by the change.
