RI Energy (a.k.a National Grid) has increased electricity prices by 64% per kWh this coming year. And some guy from NRG in Walmart stopped me and asked if I wanted a $20 gift card to switch to clean energy. Same distributor(National Grid) , same supplier (NRG) are trying to “incentivize” people by giving them a $20 gift card and saying that cost of electricity will be cheaper if we let them supply us using renewable energy… Seriously? If it was cheaper for National grid don’t you think they would have done it by now?

I did this a couple of years before and while the $/kWh is just a few cents cheaper, they hit you with all sorts of bullshit fees and it ends up costing way more. They’ve already fleeced us with inflation and bullshit prices to pad their CEO’s bonuses.. what more can they take from us who are barely trying to survive? Besides it should be a policy based implementation to switch to clean energy without waving a carrot in front of normal working class citizens.
