Electricity costs were coming down and actually seemed reasonable until last month. The bill was really high. Now full disclosure it was the hottest month ever recorded in East TN. You know global warming waits for no pedo dictator.

So, yeah I ran my AC more than ever before. I know for a fact it was my highest bill ever because the electric company provides a neat little chart on your costs for over a 3 year period. And it gives you the amount of electricity you used. So, doing some quick math, my cost per kilowatt-hour had gone up by 44%. Thanks pedo Trump.
