Wow, its the gas that has really went up on my PGE bill. Your posting of the rates got me curious. January '00 gas rates = $$.638/therm baseline, $.833 over baseline. January '01 gas rates = $1.72/therm baseline (106% increase), $1.912 over baseline (130% increase) Hard to argue in favor of the CA system with those figures. What has natural gas done in the rest of the country? Last years PGE = $154, this years = $271 (76% increase). That is with our household using 22.5% LESS gas and 7.3% LESS electricity. It's WORSE than I thought. Jeez. Scott
