THE COST OF GOING GREEN

It doesn't look like its going to be cheap.

All of these tax tax increases and spending trillions of dollars to fix something that doesnt even exist. This is the biggest hoax on man ever.

My energy rates just went up in PA and MD well over north Carolinas measly 12 percent. And my electric tax rate increases werent even for "global warming." The whole idea here is to make electric and other forms of energy so expensive that we have no choice but to use the less efficient and less cost effective "green" energies.

I am not against these "green" energy ideas im just against being told i have to use them and being forced to by having my rates go up to pay them. This is an outrage and something NEEDS to be done right now. If you can afford to use solar or wind power then by all means go ahead and do it. But i would imagine 95% of us cant and dont want to so stop shoving it down our *censored* throats.

“[W]e estimate that by participating in appropriate energy conservation programs, the average North Carolina residential customer (using 1,000 kWh a month) can save about $5 per month…”

More like they will pay an additional 50-100 dollars a month. Their estimate is *censored*. how can raising someones rates save them money. These *censored* *censored* at duke energy need to fired. *censored* them.

It is time to invest in Wind generaters, Solar Panels, and Swamp Coolers.

Swamp coolers are great....................................if you live in Phoenix.

They're pretty much useless when the relative humidity goes above 40%. Same reason you don't see the fog of misters trailing off of outdoor patios at our local businesses up here in the northeastern USA. At Hooters in Mesa, they have an outdoor deck that goes around the entire restaurant (on 2nd floor with lovely views of the ASU ladies ) with those misters ringing the whole perimeter -- makes the 110* air feel like a 75* day up here.


But back on topic, this seems as though Obama has given the green light to everyone to start giving it hard to the middle class. He certainly green-lit the MA state gov't! 6.25% tax starting in Aug. On top of 1000 other fees going up. & here's the kicker -- it's a famous democrat ploy to pass the blame onto someone else -- they will now begin taxing telecom. co's. for the property that their poles, etc. are on ( used to be exempt) GUESS WHO PAYS FOR THAT ONE????? And also, satellite service will now be taxed! I HAVE SATELLITE TV! What the f is next???????

Going green is killing the working class. Think about it: your paying more per gallon for CRAP-QUALITY gasoline. They load it up with ethanol in the name of tree-hugger nirvana, at the expense of your mileage, horsepower/torque & your gaskets if you still drive carbureted. Which then drives up the cost of food due to the corn required for ethanol production.

Auto inspections have got to be the worst offenders for killing the working class. You need the damn car to get to your *censored* job that might not be there next week, & now you have to dodge cops your whole commute because the inspection station slaps a GIANT BLACK "R" on your windshield because your exhaust supposedly killed 500 baby seals! Gimme a *censored* break!!!!!

At one point, they were failing people that didn't fill their WASHER FLUID RESERVOIRS!!! Welcome to liberal MA!! Where 5 years ago it was illegal to give or receive a tattoo, buy booze on Sunday, or open a store on Sunday................ but 2 men can get married!!! UN -*censored*- BELIEVABLE!!

THE REAL KICKER IS THEIR GONNA START TAXING BOOZE!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M LOOOOOOOOOSING ITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all those who voted for Obama and his Obamanation, was he all you wanted him to be?

Smitty...tell us how you really feel. My entire life they have found new ways to remove money from my wallet, but they are really getting inventive now. I am trying something this summer....seems to be working so far... I stopped watching the national news. It hasn't changed my life one little bit, but I feel less frustrations.

We're going to need Novocaine for our wallets.

If you didn`t know these utility hikes were coming you must have had your heads burried in sand. I belong to a electric co-opt so we get to go to meetings every so often & this has been coming for years ever since one of those nasty regulations was set with an expiration date. Blame B.O. all you want but it was coming anyhow. It just strikes me funny how everything becomes the fault of how ever is in office at that time. You Mass guys have a mess up there but heres one for Pa. an Erie judge who was convicted of insurance fraud & only forced to retire once he was found gulity gets to keep his pension even while sitting in jail, I believe its $82,000 a year.

Nawww, I was just joking with you, and you missed my pun

Every new program, every new tax is directly related to the repayment of interest charged to you by the Federal Reserve.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson

"If the American people ever allow PRIVATE banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks will deprive The People of all property until their children wake-up HOMELESS on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to The People, to whom it properly belongs". --- Thomas Jefferson

True. Whats the ratio now... 99.99% of all taxes just pays for the interest on the federal deficit loans?

2008 Federal Tax receipts
$2,524,326,000,000

2008 Interest Expense on Debt Outstanding
$451,154,049,950.63 <------- they track that precisely!!

So, it takes 17.8% of all taxes to pay for the interest.
