Or do you favor the other side of the coin where the system supports you and yours? False dichotomy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope That is not the same That is the O and M administrative fee to cover the record maintenance of your account (paper work) The cost to maintain your grid connection is in your rate per KWH"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

gowlerk 2,272 #212 February 26, 2016 QuoteI think the US is beginning to realize that "clean coal" is truly an oxymoron - and that the cost isn't worth it. Clean coal? Not merely an oxymoron, but an insult to our intelligence. The miners die young from mining it, our children get sick from breathing the particulates, the ash is stored in retention ponds that leach or breach, the landscape is mutilated from producing it, and the CO output is high. It has poisoned the air and water of cities since the beginning of the industrial revolution. And it still is in many places. It gave us many of the good things we have today, but it is time to move past it. Only the deadenders are clinging to their filthy coal cribs.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
