It is a MLM that signs up customers for off grid use of energy sources. Try getting information from state regulating departments. The idea of cheaper energy has been around for years but only a few persons found the way to do this. You can use solar cell technology for the house and go off grid, create a cooperative to use a group energy buy that will save money, or learn more about the Green programs that will do all this performances.

Why the heck are they screwing people over BIG time? $700 bill on a 2 bedroom? WHY?
The first step is to work out what is using this much energy. Power meters can be bought for a whole building (~$100) or a power point (~$30). You can get real time values or daily, weekly, monthly totals. Find out how much standby energy you use. Find out how much energy is spent on hot water, fridges, entertainment. The building meter updates every 6 seconds on a indoor portable wireless display unit. Turn on or off any device and see the change in consumption. The meter can show in kWh or dollars per hour.
Check the consumption of heating, cooling and hot water. Check for hot water leaks. They are the largest consumers.
I have a review of meters on my website at

i dont know where your from but an electricity company in texas wants to put in eleven coal plants in texas. our air is extremly dirty already.we also have the cement capitol here which has killed and sickened thousands of children including my own.
You know if you wanna put your money where your mouth is get some solar panels or wind catchers on your property. Federal law say the energy company has to pay you if you are producing more electricity then you are using.
outside their houses I mean what about their electrical bills, aren’t they going to rise if you have that many Christmas lights on?
It would be very miserable if everyone stopped putting up Christmas lights because of the electricity prices! "Tis the season to be jolly"… and all that =)
You get charged by the kilowatt so it doesn’t matter when you use it.
. Cool your home at 78° or warmer with the thermostat fan switch on "auto." For additional savings, raise your thermostat to 82° or warmer when you’re away from home. 6. Avoid pre-rinsing dishes before putting in dishwasher. It can save up to $70 a year.
2. Heat your home at 68° or cooler with the thermostat fan switch on "auto." To save even more, lower your thermostat to 65° or cooler at bedtime or when you’re away from home. 7. Limit the time you run your pool pump:
Summer – run it no more than six hours a day
Winter – no more than four hours a day
3. Install a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature automatically and maximize your energy savings. It also helps to maintain a comfortable temperature when you wake up or return home. 8. Adjust the water level on your washing machine to match the load size, especially when using hot water. Always use a cold rinse.
4. Clean or replace your air conditioner’s filter every month to trim your cooling costs and help your unit run more efficiently. 9. Clean the lint filter in your dryer before every load to dry your clothes faster and save money.
5. Turn off your ceiling fan when you leave the room. A fan that runs constantly can cost up to $7 a month depending on size and age. 10. Use the auto sensor function on your dryer, if you have one, to conserve energy by
It depends on where you live because:
1) Electricity rates vary dramatically across the continental US. Costs per kWH may be as low as 2 cents (Central Washington State) or has high as14 cents (New York City).
2) If your climate is moderate, an electric heat pump may be the lowest cost option as the primary source for heating and cooling.
Your local utility company or heating and air conditioning specialist should have information that will help you decide what is the best option to heat and cool your house.

We live in TX and are gone all day but it is running in the 105 range down here?
I lived full time in a 30 ft fifth wheel w/slide outs for over two years in Northwest Washington state, just south of the Canadian border.
I don’t know how rates compare, and obviously the need there was for heat rather than A/C, however, it should be able to give you a ball park idea of costs.
During the winter, when heating was neccessary almost 24/7, and we used electric space heaters, our electricity costs ran around $50 a month. At least one of us was home most all the time, and there were two TV’s, video game consoles, and a computer running usually, plus refrigerator, and electric cooking appliances, and two electric blankets at night.
During the summer, spring and fall, electricity was closer to $15-25, which included a few days of A/C, but not many.
Hope this gives a bit of an idea.
Enjoy!
