Snake Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 How is the whole electricity prices thing going on there? Have you bathed in the wonder that is the Biden presidency? Is it necessary to put off purchases just to put light in the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the specifics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look year to year though it’s way the fuck up we use to pay 80-110 now 180-240 month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric bill $200 average a month…. $2400 a year…. $60000 over the life of most warranties on solar equipment. a modest array on the roof and a few days with mediocre home improvement ability is $10kish…. Would wipe out 75%+ of that electric bill in NH Edited October 24, 2022 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is the master plan raise prices so high people have no choice but to go solar or wind or whatever green crap they’re trying to push.

Definitely not worth it. However, with the new electric rates that would be shorter. Still not a good use of my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pricing went up with the inflation reduction act...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
