In my area we are getting a 15% rate increase to an already high electric bill as it is. People that are on a fixed income are going to fail soon. I personally have cut electric use all the way back as far as I can aside from using candle light and alcohol lamps. Power strips, total LED house, gas heating and electric A/C, ECM motors on things that matter, and upgrading my computers and servers to more efficent models from a power standpoint.
While my opinion is remaining in the middle grounds for electric vehicles themselves and their principle, Im not really for or against them, I am however totally against a super high rate hike in the power grid. How can we as consumers prevent this from occuring? Will automakers be able to push govt' for a rate freeze so we all can afford to charge our vehicles? Will there be solar kits that can actually be strong enough to charge them? Will auto makers install solar panels on the hoods, roof, and truck lids that are strong enough do anything?
