>In Texas I can shop around for a provider and I'm locked in for a rate of two years now.< And when the provider goes out of business you get dropped to the Provider of Last Resort (POLR). Blank check companies that know nothing about the electric business decide to become a Texas Retail Electric Provider. And when you drop to POLR, you'll want to get a new provider soon as the POLR rates peel the paint off the walls.

Sorry. It was already listed. I ususually investigate better. my bad. Thanks for calling me on it.

Great caption! Thanks for posting in Topic: What Was The Best Movie You Saw This Week? Look forward to seeing more of your movie post/blogs.

Wow! That's some asteroid. We have a smart meter, too. Funny that they can find us in the mountains here. Shep, and cakes and Warren are my Buddies. As is the Dande guy and some others.

tank you SO MUCH !!! Why didn't I see this b4 ?? LOL!

I really can't believe some of the ignorant comments about Smart Meters. I live in MD and we have had them for a couple years ......Lets bebuddies

Welcome new buddy! I was discussing this article and the naysayers with a friend today....she is on the same page as we are regarding Smart meters, the naysayers are all T-Baggers.... She said that they believe if you have a Smart Meter installed the government will then come in and take their guns...LOL! Thought you might enjoy that one!

I was impressed by your comments regarding the Smart Meter article. I too, have had nothing but savings from it, because of the tips you published. I see you are from Houston, so you have even more humidity than OK. Unfortunately, I just read the article tonight, so too late for comments. Nice job!

I really hope that E-15, E-30 and E-85 are not allowed. No More Food or Feed For Fuel. Corn ethanol is for drinking and large quantities of ethanol shouldn't be in the driver or the fuel tank either. Later, Warren :o)

Hi, I liked your post on today's news item: "New research shows additional damage from E15". E-10 reduces the amount of poisonous carbon monoxide produced by all internal combustion engines. Higher amounts of ethanol offer no health benefits, can damage fuel systems & engines and are a waste of food and feed. That is a nice avatar picture that you have posted here. Have a great week. Your buddy, Warren :-)
