Planned Obsolescence is your fault

[Garth Wilson]

Wow, you guys have it easy. I'm in the middle of Los Angeles county. I'm looking at my last electric bill, and the first tier of 350kWh cost $.17/kWh, tier 2 costs $.25/kWh, and tier 3 costs $.35/kWh; and then there's tax on top of that, and that's all on top of a basic charge. Our local power plants are powered by natural gas. We were just barely into tier 2 for November, and the bill was $73. It will be quite a bit more for December (over $100) because of my wife's Christmas lights.
