Our New Intellectual Elite: Spend $10 to Save $5
Duke Energy, the major power supplier for much of North Carolina, has announced its intention to raise electrical costs for its customers by over $500 million, due to increasingly likely micromanagement of the Green Sector (formerly known as our "energy production capability.") But hey, there's good news:—Customers stand to save a fortune once the rates go up:
500 million dollars divided by 4 million customers equals $125 that North Carolinians will be expected to add on to their already expensive power bills, per year.
In the midst of a massive economic downturn.
Fortunately for North Carolinians everywhere, Duke Energy (or rather, the Federal Department of Pointless Micro-Management) has outlined ways that customers can use to save $60 per year. Which amounts to less than half of the price hike (which, I will add again, is on top of already expensive bills).
"Going green" continues to be one of the biggest scams in the history of our nation. How much better must we feel to know that our government is the one that's scamming us?
Thanks to Steven.
