Article does say it's back up to where it was about 5 years ago.

If I may ...

Just one of many ways we are being told inflation, (expansion of the money supply), is raging across the land. And, as a matter of fact, they told us this, SMECO did, in their press release, without even using the word, "inflation", even once. Pretty sly these people are.

I like the two faced double speak though “The co-op does not make a profit on SOS energy charges." However and actually, SMECO's "profit" is generated from, "In addition, SMECO’s transmission costs have increased." Right there in the transmission fees. Though I haven't seen any new transmission lines being built lately, or new transformer stations either. So I wonder how those, profitable, costs are increasing? Wage inflation perhaps?

To the solar panel manufacturers and their investors, as well as political clout for those elected to abuse.

Both of my trucks have extended capacity tanks, so it's 35 Gal for one and 36 Gal for the other.

Before long the pump readout will look like a Mortgage payment.

Love the 720 mile range on my 36 gal tank. Hate the $90.00 fill ups though.

Gotta pay for that cool new palace they built on Hollywood/Leonardtown road somehow.
