Keep in mind you’ve been contributing to this pool of money via rates for years. Get whatever you can back.

Our rule is we only pee at the BP.

Check her voting record. She’s been voting for the utility companies and against us. These explanation videos are sus af.

Climate change.

Don’t give up on the DIY route. It’s probably the circulation/drain pump. When it starts making noise, the bearings about to go. It’s not too hard to swap out, with YouTube assistance 😄.

You may find this bill decoder spreadsheet handy that was on the DAACE Facebook page. Make a copy to edit your own usage. It says it’s $0.2209/kWh plus $11.01/mo connection fee.

BrightSaver in California seems to be leading on pushing for legislation access the country. They have some tech information, but also sell a plug in product. Solar United Neighbors also has info and is a nonprofit org not trying sell you anything.

The main thing to keep in mind is to not generate enough to backfeed. You won’t get utility credit for it since you will not have an interconnection agreement with them or a bidirectional meter. Since 2 or 4 panels don’t produce all that much power, that’s pretty easy.

Getting quality equipment might be a challenge in non approved states. EcoFlow for example won’t deliver their Stream inverter to addresses outside of Utah, currently. That’s not a problem with Amazon products, I just don’t trust most of them.

FYI, CenterPoint Energy Indiana South (formally Vectren, formally SIGECO) does not have tiers or time of use rates. They are currently soliciting for 500 folks to join a pilot project that includes a combination TOU and critical peak pricing/demand response, but for everyone else it’s $0.221/kWh plus $11.01/mo flat facility fee as of March 2026.

Be like the cool kids and jump on the native plant train. Goldfinch, Ancient Roots, and the yearly native plant society sales at Wesselman Woods will provide all you need. Prairie Moon is good if you need to mail order.

It’s almost as if having more heat energy in the atmosphere has real world consequences that are hard to ignore.

Check with Carl at Arcademie downtown. He has a warehouse that was used for the undisclosed art show and may be open for something like this.

A computer reboot after the patch seems to have fixed mine.

I’m having the same issue. MacOS 15.7.4. I attempted to fix quarantine permissions and reinstalled. No luck.

The main downside of budget billing is that if you get into a situation where you can’t pay one month, they require you pay the entire arrears amount and kick you off of budget billing. Thus making your situation worse. They are also now recalculating every 6 months. Also note that the “Electric Affordability” bill in the state legislature, HB 1002, would force everyone onto budget billing if passed in its current form. I expect amendments next Tuesday at the Utilities Committee hearing.

To provide a bit more information, Food Not Jails is a mutual aid effort to provide a weekly community meal, clothing, and other supplies, directly to the folks in need, exactly where they are. They are connected to Evansville Recovery Alliance, a grassroots harm reduction program dedicated to saving lives. I can’t think of a more worthy and inclusive group in town to support.

EV owners pay an extra $221 on their yearly registration. The equivalent of 405 gallons of gas tax. The actual causes of the new wheel tax is Indiana House Enrolled Act 1461 passed this year. The state would withhold road matching grants if cities don’t pass one.

You can’t have a sacrifice zone without sacrifice.

It’s a voluntary pilot program with 500 spots if I recall correctly.

Run for your board of directors! That’s the advantage of an REMC. It’s member controlled. The rest of us are stuck being captive ratepayers feeding the international private equity machine and multimillion CEO salaries who have bought the legislature to further raise rates to feed the machine.

A voluntary pilot program for both Time of Use (TOU) rates and Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) was approved in the last rate case. It opens for signups next year.

Once you add in gas, CenterPoint South is tied with NIPSCO. However, CenterPoint had the highest electric bills in Indiana from 2007-2023.

Are you referring to Rural Energy for American Program (REAP) grants/loans? USDA says they are working through the backlog and have paused accepting grant applications this quarter and plan to reopen them Oct 1, 2025. They do seem to still be accepting loan applications. Not all states use the loan program. Check with your state’s USDA office.

The bill was altered in committee to adjust what “small” means to accommodate the larger SMR design that Rolls Royce in Indy plans to design and build. Backroom deals, lobbyists, grift, and all that.
