Over here they were supposedly sorting it out... But they haven't. Prices continue to soar when wholesale prices go up and then fail to come down when wholesale prices go down, meanwhile energy companies continue to make huge profits.

Ours have only gone up the past few years. I've been with this company for 4 years and they've never had a price hike like this... so I guess since they are a smaller company, they were just under-prepared for the market rates going up as they have.
Other companies (most of them much larger) are sending me fliers for rates comparable to what we were paying before.
California expected to mandate solar panels for new homes

I read this today. Good news for those of us in free markets who want to see innovation and eventually lowering of costs in residential solar, but bad news for those people living there already who are trying to buy a home. It will probably increase the price of rent/selling price in older homes in those markets and so more expensive in the long-run in terms of cost of living... I like the idea of builders creating new residential green communities /w these features, but maybe not an entire state.
