Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

That sounds like a terrible idea. But I am sure the proper people were paid off so it will pass through.

Your highest usage based on a 30 min span? If that's correct that makes zero sense for the consumer as it makes any attempt to decrease use and be more efficient a useless endeavor.

Fuck ComEd.

This is shameless gilding of the lily.

I just knew there was something more than laying off meter readers when they rolled out the new "smart" meters.

Whoever even sponsored this bill should be never forgotten. This is shameless gilding of the lily.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Well Mac told me to to tell you to go FUCK YOURSELF!!! ..So now it's been said .. .

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

So if you run your air for 5 minutes you could be billed as though you ran it for 24 hours?

It's not the AC so much as it is a 1200 watt hair dryer that worries me. That, and using the microwave for more than 2 minutes at a time.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

At its best, the Breeder Reactor system produces no nuclear waste whatever - literally everything eventually gets used. In the real world, there actually may be some residual material that could be considered waste, but its half-life - the period of time it takes for half the radioactivity to dissipate - is on the order of thirty to forty years. By contrast, the half-life for the stuff we presently consider nuclear waste is over 25,000 years!

Imagine a transformed energy landscape, where there is no nuclear waste problem, no power shortages, a safe and inexhaustible supply of inexpensive electricity. France has constructed and used Breeder Reactors like this for many years. So have the British and the Japanese. So why not the United States?

We invented the technology but then made a political decision back in 1977 that has accomplished nothing but to create immense piles of long-lived, highly radioactive material that we cannot use for anything, and worse - we must safely store for more than its half-life of 25,000 years.

we have a government problem.

It was probably called a green initiative.

The fact that this new billing idea is complete a is completely asinine...

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Illinois has gone from among the 15 cheapest states for residential electricity, around 8 cents per kilowatthour in 2014, to among the 15 most expensive as of February this year, about 12 cents per kilowatthour for residential juice.

for whatever reason, commercial electricity rates have not risen at all in that time, still down around 8 cents.

Illinios should have among the 10 cheapest electricity supplies in the country--being 1 of 10 states in which the majority of electrical power is nuclear. Illinois accounts for 10% of all nuclear power generated in the US.
