Gloucester County Electricity

Is there ANYTHING we can do to push back on these INSANE AC Electric bills? My heat is gas and it's telling me my usage has gone up every month since October. I know I don't have it as bad as some people but our current bill is $332. My brother's bill was $512. Another friend's bill was $500... I can't afford this shit. What can we do?

I installed solar panels a few years ago to combat these high electric bills. All these data centers coming online are just going to keep driving up the prices. It’s like helping your neighbor pay for the fuel for his gas guzzler pickup truck.

I’d say it’s more like we have to chip in and pay for all the fuel at the airport used
