React to Reality
As crazy as it sounds, it's 100% true. On December 13, 2011, USA Today released the results of a
comprehensive review of government data and discovered that electricity
costs have gone up faster than inflation for 5 years straight. To put this in perspective, major household appliances now use less energy than ever before. For example, a new refrigerator will use HALF the electricity of a fridge made in 1996. The same is true for many appliances and devices. They've become more energy efficient with every passing year... yet the price of electricity continues to rise rapidly. You Can Blame It on Politicians So why are overall electrical costs skyrocketing even while appliances are using less energy than ever before? The problem goes straight back to Washington, DC. High energy taxes coupled with government mandates that require perfectly good coal-burning power plants to be replaced by brand new clean-energy power plants have caused electricity prices to spike. Unfortunately, these higher electricity costs come at a time when people are already struggling to make ends meet. In places like Jefferson County, Alabama, it's especially bad. Some Jefferson residents are being forced to decide whether to keep their water or lights turned on... because they simply can't afford to pay for both. Let's face it, electricity costs are out of control, but we can't let politicians win. It's time to fight back!... [ed: Simply take the power into your own hands.
