The gas bill is $907.13? Sticker shock for Californians as prices soar
Brent Eldridge had heard that prices for natural gas were high this winter, but nothing prepared him for how bad it could be.
When he opened the envelope from Long Beach's utility department, he couldn't believe the total: $907.13, nearly eight times higher than his bill at the same time last year.
"It made me want to puke," said Eldridge, 48, a pastor.
You want "renewable" energy? It has always been and will always be a lot more expensive that Coal, Gas or Nuclear. Those government subsidies are coming out of your tax dollars too so the price you are paying is not just the bill, it is a chunk of your income, property and gasoline taxes as well.
If I was king, Nuclear using Molten Salt reactors and Thorium for fuel. Check it out. No pressure vessel so zero steam explosions. They are walk-away safe and the waste products need to be sequestered for 400 years, not 40,000. Big difference.
Thorium does not go Ka-Boom so the Uranium lobby pushed our government to use it for both weapons and commercial power despite all of its drawbacks.
