They have this cool new tech called SOLAR! Try it sometime. My power bill is 35 a month for a 4 bed 2 bath house. It is cheaper than ever too!

Imagine the power bill for some of these people. If the average household uses 30kw a day, at $9 per kw that's $270 a day. Some people are going to have to put in for a loan for Feb's power bill.

yes this is not possible but I'm reading this happens in other parts the country, how can anyone afford $9 per Kwh that doesn't make any sense.

its ten cents per kilowatt hour here in Indian

Yes, never understood why they are not mandatory to have in areas that get cold, when they build a new home.

Trump mentioned molten salt reactors (small safe nukes) early in his administration, then never said it again. 4 years should be enough to get that tech operational, it's a chipshot not a moonshot. What happened with that?
 Quoting: oniongrass


The POINT is that alternative energies only problem is how to centralize it, control it and charge fees and profit from it while decentralizing it to individual ownership or private citing.

If they would allow honest fair access to the grid with fair comprensation there would be no problem, but then the powers that be, pun intentional, would not have a monopoly on distributing it.

Wait until they force everyone to electric cars. They will raise the electric prices to the stratosphere.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78299364


They'll have to jack the rates to build out the needed infrastructure to convert everyone to electric cars. It's laughable that the utilities have all this surplus generation and transmission capacity to be able to supply the electrical demands of millions of electric cars. Electric companies are for profit businesses. No sane business has tons of idle equipment. If your equipment isn't in use and making you money, then it is costing you money. Just look a CA and their rolling blackouts during times of high demand. What's going to happen when every car in CA is electric and everyone simultaneously plugs them in to charge at 6-7pm after getting home from work? LOL

What's going to end up happening. Utilities are going to mandate electric car chargers that they can remotely control and ration out the power a few hours at a time per car to keep the utility load in check. It would probably be similar to systems they already have in place to give people electric discounts by giving the utility control of things like your air conditioning and electric water heating, allowing them to cut power to them during periods of peak demand.

EV car batteries can be turned into grid storage to increase stability. Those car batteries hanging on the grid can store surplus solar and wind. It add about $100 to the cost of the car and charging station.

The neatest project I saw used ground heat pumps to use the surplus solar to heat up a school play yard then pulled the energy from the yard to heat the school in winter.

That dude was also going to use river water and heat pumps to replace district steam plants. He pissed away that money buying Enron's internet backbone from the bankruptcy.

 Quoting: Cheyenne


This should finish Griddy for good. We had it when it first started and it saved us a lot of money. But after one day of spikes, I switched to a fixed rate at about 6 pm and it became effective about 8 hours later.... and later that day, electrify prices went up to $5 kWh for about 6 hours.

Never looked back. Fixed rate at around 9 cents kWh for two years now.

Our electric runs $100-120 for 8 months and double that for the 4 summer months. Gas bill $20-40 month.
 Quoting: Cap’n Obvious


Not saying I predicted it... but I predicted it.

State of Texas just shut down Griddy.
