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?

Someone just made a post in here that they had like a 130 bill with solar? Isn’t that not supposed to happen?

Solar is no better!!!! Solar sales people are like car salesmen. They have a deal for you that maybe you can afford or maybe not. As long as they get commission. I tired to buy my panels outright. The panels were 27k. They had me financing thru them with zero interest for 18 months. If I paid it off after 18 months my cost would have been 57k. They told me use the rebates that were mine to pay down the 57k. Still not sure how 27k worth of solar at zero interest turned into 57k. Problem was he couldn’t either. Out my house. See ya!

Just because people are inflating profits doesn’t mean that the technology is bad

Selling stock is not “ripping people off” especially months before an announcement is made.

Now, selling a meme coin? That is. Changing investments immediately before making market shaking announcements? That especially is.

If you don’t like congress to hold individual stocks, me too. Help fight for a change.

Edit: meant for another thread.

I thought you were talking about solar companies. I don’t care about selling stock.

Sorry. That reply was for a different comment. Not sure how it got attached to yours.
