Well that is just plain craziness. What would people do with so many choices? People need to be told what to do. Or is our case a limited choice. First Energy or darkness.

Congratulations Gordo! It was just reported on the 6 a.m. news that your letter to First Energy has made them decide to postpone their light bulb fiasco until they can answer the PUCOs(Public Utility Commision of Ohio) questions on the price.

Fucking A.
Though nothing will change. If the "government" has already approved the swindle, that means First Energy has already put millions into those politicians' reelection coffers. The cost of the bribes has already been built in to the $21, I am sure.

Although the PUCO allowed FirstEnergy to implement its program, we did not approve the charge that will appear on monthly bills as a result. Reports in the media place the cost to customers at sixty cents per month for three years, which equates to $21.60 over the life of the program. The PUCO has not approved these additional dollars nor have we received a request by the company to do so.

Alrighty, TPR. What's you typical monthly electric bill?
EDIT : Although, I suppose what I really care about is the kilowatt-hour price.

I run my A/C almost 24 hours a day, because I set it for 68. My bills range from $240 in the high summer to $30 in the middle of winter.

We have choices too and the present energy company has stopped the program. Choices are so confusing that I for one stay with the devil I know. Probably stupid

Ohio only has 3 electrical companys which divide up the state. Only one has competition I believe it is the one down by West Virginia. And from what I saw of their choice if I could switch to them my bill would be higher.

In Columbus some of our electric is provided by the city itself. I know my last two properties were under city wires.

There is a local family-owned general store with locations all over this area called "The Andersons." A Wal Mart competitor, basically, but they've been here for a long time.
They are selling these bulbs, 2-packs, wrapped in paper that says "FIRST ENERGY," priced 2 bulbs for $1.
I guess they had a warehouse of bulbs they were never allowed force customers to purchase for $10 each.
I bought 6 of them for $3.
