Cost of gasoline is going down, so why isn't electricity? Answer: Because Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) is greedy for profits. For the 3rd straight month my electric bill totals more than $500, which is double that of all my previous bills. It is outrageous that PEC is being permitted by the legislature to continue its aggressive billing, simply because Perry and special interest directed elected officials agreed to deregulate the industry, which enables the company to charge absurd costs to members. This also is the 3rd straight month I have requested legislators to become more active in harnessing this runaway electric company. Fortunately, I can pay these bills, but many of my neighbors can't. Previous PEC leaders must be forced to repay the money they took as perks, bribes and contributions from their special interest contributors. But most of all, the Legislature must act in good faith to the Texas community. PEC requires oversight and reality must enter to ensure members pay affordable and honest electric costs. Don't just sit there and watch it happening, do something about it! -------

And... according to some of our political friends...privatization is the answer to it all.
Yah..Sure...We get the shaft and they get the stick.
Sorry, I couldn't give you any comfort in this..good luck on your bills.
Let's see..a commercial windmill costs about $4mil. + right of ways + lines = ? households or ranches it will serve. Might also think about solar panels.
Then you might want to think
Submitted by CheckerboardStr... on August 31, 2008 - 2:53am.Then you might want to think about NANOSOLAR, soon to hit the market with "printed" panels that cost about a dollar a watt, which is one third the price of traditional solar panels.
Thanks for the reference

Submitted by pstern on September 9, 2008 - 5:46pm.There already is a 1 year waiting period for this product. There's another company in TX that is doing similar work. The name now escapes me but you can review my Statesman blog where I discussed it.
