it appears I'm incorrect, you apparently have even more free time to post, your ranking is number 2. (climbing the charts with a bullet)

of course, it's stupid. do you really think I even have half a brain, I'm on here almost 24/7. who's whining? I said I be makin me own energy or electrons you big dummy. and, 22 percent increase is criminal. thankfully Pb is still cheap and available, not in NYC but in the Free States, wait did I write that? oh, guns are illegal in NYC, sir. I hope the trying to shoot me has a permit.

That's one of the stupidest statements you've made, and you've made quite a few. "Criminal?" Really? Then call Andrew Cuomo. There are cities facing close to 30% hikes, so quit your whining. And maybe when you're siphoning gas, one of the owners will take a shot at you, since Pb is still cheap.

I knew a portable generator would come in handy one of these days. I'll just siphon gas from all the cars parked outside. (that's a hint for carowners to get indoor parking) and a big F U to bloomberg. 22 percent hike is criminal.

Oh, suck it up. Don't blame Con Ed or Bloomberg. Similar rate hikes are happening all over the country. Con Ed can't be expected to eat higher fuel costs for your benefit. If you want to know who's to blame, look around then look in the mirror. We had the chance to avoid all this over 30 years ago. Renewable energy (then called "alternative energy") development was in high gear. But as soon as gas prices went down, research was put on the back burner or even taken completely off the stove. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

so... yknow how Con Ed has that deal that for a little bit extra charge you can have a portion of your power come from wind and hydro power rather than oil or gas? If you've got that deal going for you, are you facing less of a percentage of increase?
