This entire thread is a classic example of what is wrong with government and how the utility companies have been successful at creating a bill that is more complex and filled with invented terms and associated charges and times of use and all sorts of taxes and fees that they have displaced hospitals as the number one source of consumer billing headaches. Frankly, its just awful to get an electric bill and even read this thread.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just buy your kWh and delivery fees on the auction open market at competitive prices and just pay for what you need? No one would be arguing that you need to help pay for electricity for renters, poor persons, native Americans and every other identified group who have no inkling that some self interest group is lobbying on their behalf to pay for their electric use at your expense.
