I did. My bill was 2x for July… Georgia Power

Dumb comment.

Electricity is a regulated utility with substantial government oversight. If you remember your ballot, you vote for their leadership.

Also — upgrading the power grid costs money. The cost for new solar power? Wind power? Transmission lines? It comes from somewhere. Don’t pay for it, and you get crumbling infrastructure like Amtrak.

That’s because Georgia power is passing their new power plant building costs onto consumers. Rate hikes for everyone, so they can enjoy the profits.

It’s almost like everything these past few years have gotten noticeably more expensive for some odd reason…

My bills are up $150/month compared to a year ago

Thinking the same recently

My Georgia Power bill for July was 3x the previous year. . . I’m in a 1br apt.
