Somehow we have to keep making noise about the nosebleed high electric rates we pay under NYSEG. Instead of investigations, I would settle for true competition. Open up the market and let someone else put in their own lines to households and businesses--then the price would come down. A quick story about NYSEG: I once knew a local printer who printed a run of brochures for NYSEG. There were over 50,000 brochures in the print run. I don't recall the price involved, but it was something like $4-$5K to print the brochures in full color. A NYSEG reps notices a typo after it's printed, scraps the whole thing, and has it reprinted with the correction. $4-$5K down the toilet for ratepayers--and no accountability for the person in NYSEG who wasted that money. That's why we pay high electric rates. It's waste and mismanagement at NYSEG, with no real competitors to keep them honest. Your comment is cynical Franco, but likely true!

Are neighbors are almost half the rate that NYSEG charges. Why don't we rise up and demand fairness. Why aren't their investigations into monopoly practices and price gauging? Just remember, I said it first here... After this whole Natural Gas drilling in our region gets going and we start producing Natural Gas, instead of our energy rates going down, it will go up. That's just the way things work here in NY, the opposite of logic. Why is it that NYSEG charges the 3rd highest rate in the Country? Are neighbors are almost half the rate that NYSEG charges.
