I don't think this is true. I reduced my electricity use by 67% without considering why my bill was increasing.

Sailin, my apologies if my Eversource comments steered things off topic. I like discussing with John and to me it was on topic, meaning understanding where increased rates were coming from amid your efforts to conserve, and I don't believe John or I ever mentioned anything political. But maybe I should have just kept quiet in that thread, again sorry about that.

Don't worry, my question was amply answered.

You are correct, and for your purposes I think you got what you need. Unfortunately the thread morphed way beyond what you needed for original post, but that's what happens on the internet and it's not necessarily bad.

It's bad if people are engaging in what they feel is a useful conversation and it gets shut down.
