[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1572610, member: 5412"] One of the things one can do in the home is to unplug some of the items that stay powered up when your not home. Coffee pots with clocks, etc. It won't amount much to your personal bill but will make a difference in your provider that in the long run will prolong building new generating facilities that WILL cost the consumer in higher rates. Ok here we are to the bottom line. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission said that OGE could not build another high efficiency power plant, and forced us to buy a merchant plant that had been almost mothballed. the plant does not have 100% backup in case of emergencies, like a base power plant does, and uses Nat Gas which results in higher generating costs, that you pay for. So, if it has to trip off line to an emergency, and the load is too high on a hot day, the consumer has to pick up the bill to buy electric from the grid by other merchant plants at three or four times what we can generate it for. So go ahead and slam OGE, the company that had kept consumer electric bills among the lowest in the country, with the line crews that have won awards for being the best in the business, and power plants that have the highest reliability in the country. Put your stupid tin hats on and get the crap out of my face! Go anywhere else in the country and see what you get! Yeah I'm tired, and cranky now. Long days in this heat reading this crap make me this way.:smack::smack::smack: [/QUOTE]
