    Is there even a plausible claim like a bunch of infrastructure burning down? Or did they just openly jack prices up for no reason?

      Based on my utility bills most of the cost is from “service fees.” I don’t know what service they’re providing that warrants charging us up the ass but, yeah, it’s service fees.

        I think it's the price customers pay to serve the energy shareholders. Someone's got to pay the person writing all those dividend cheques.

          But have you considered that it's a voluntary fee that you're paying after choosing from a wide selection of electricity providers? Checkmate communists.

          Every time I get the monthly bill in the mail my soul rots even more. It’s just constant anxiety on whether I can afford this month or not.
