Comments on: Al Gore Is Overweight https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/07/30/al-gore-is-overweight/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:29:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/07/30/al-gore-is-overweight/comment-page-1/#comment-38383 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:29:02 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=4623#comment-38383 The Florida power companies have more cons running at any particular time than the Mafia. Another favorite is uniform billing – i.e. you get the same amount billed every month. This sounds like a reasonable way of dealing with a recurring bill except:

There is an additional charge for the “service”, it isn’t simply the average monthly bill from the previous year; and

It reduces the power company’s costs because the meter is not read monthly.

Another scam is “whole house surge protection”, which is basically an 8-foot copper plated grounding stake that should already be in place with a heavier gauge of grounding strap, and a heavier version of the same surge circuit used in most power strips these days. For this “service” they get an installation fee and a monthly charge.

Everyone in the energy business is an Enron wannabe.
