  Combined means we have:

  first 1k kwh rate Above 1k kwh rate

  And the above 1k kwh changes seasonally.

    they send us these cute charts and stuff about our usage

    they show you a “you are using xyz% more then previous year” type stuff

    but my wife keeps it and their little bullshit is because they keep changing the rate and then using the new rate against your old usage as comparison. Looks like OMG we used a lot more power then last year! We should consider cutting something out.

    But the actual meter reading numbers are almost always the same year after year

      I like the suggestions to save money and low usage.

      “Have you tried living in complete darkness this month? You could save $2 off your bill!”

      “Perhaps try not using electricity this month. Better yet, consider getting a second source of income to turn on your fridge for a few hours a day!”

        It’s winter here, and I wear two or three layers with a sweater on top, because I am saving electricity.

        We’ll have ourselves our first trillionaire, and silly me hates all the people at 500mil+ net worth, and their bootlickers.

        Inb4 we get astroturfed “Luddites” telling us to just abandon electricity and live like the Amish.
