It is not just the electric bill that is high, water, gasoline, garbage, groceries and insurance ( health, home, auto and life) is outrageous.
pickme2 : In some cases on the corporate front, record corporate profits. Companies like Lowe's made net profit. If 7.7 billion in 2025 projected 12 billion for 2026. So its most everything and it's mostly profit for these corporations. However Centerpoint Energy 1.4 billion for 2025 down to 1.1 billion net profit for 2026. Source: Alexa

Inconceivable13 : My bill is higher than it used to be because before Base, I switched providers every 3-6 months, chasing the lowest rate. Sometimes it worked out well, other times my contract would end during a high period and I'd have to choose a high rate to avoid the higher rate of month-to-month. Now on a 3-year contract, it's on the low end of long contrats but still higher then a 3-month.« Back to Chat
