Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

AEP rate increases total 60 percent from 2007 to 2009

Raise your hand if you think AEP are a bunch of thieves? [Hand raised]

“Still, rate increases alone, when comparing December 2007 with December 2009, have boosted by more than 60 percent the monthly bill of an average residential customer who consumes 1,000 kilowatt hours a month.”

I know it doesn’t do any good, but it sure made me feel a little better. For those that don’t know, Appalachian Power has raised its rates more than 60 percent in the last two years, and residents in their service area are outraged, as they should be. We’re talking about a company turning record profits and they continue to increase rates regularly. It’s getting to the point were we are seriously considering installing some solar panels to help offset the cost of electricity. Five years ago, rate were reasonable, but now, the electric bills are high enough that investing in $2,000 worth of solar panels would pay for itself a lot faster.
