Just got my Hydro bill from Ontario Hydro, its worth printing here for a laugh

Electricity used during this billing period

We estimated your meter on October 23, 2002..........000953
We estimated your meter on September 23, 2002........000953
Difference in meter reading..........................000000

Cost of Electricity @ 5.027c/KWh.....................$0.00

Hydro One deleivery charges:
Cost to deliver the electricity to you...............$23.23


What rocket scientist figured out that it costs $23.23 to deliver nothing? Thats even better than running a Nigerian zillionaire scheme where you get $23,000,000 if you send me the "Taxes due"!!!

Goes to show you that it doesn't matter how they
figure it, it still costs the same.
You're basically at 9.52c / kwhr
I'm at 10.9c if you add them all up.
For 407 kwh, you must be living in the dog house :-)
Using that much hydro, all you need is 2x6v go-cart
batteries and a solar charger from Cdn tire... Ha Ha Ha!!!


My last month bill...Ontario
energy 3,132 kwhs x .07498 234.84
distribution @ .0103 30.90
customer fixed 13.32 / mo 13.32
SSS Admin (Nazis thing) .50
Wholesale servers .0062 19.42
Debt retirement .0068 20.40
Retail transmission .0107 33.51
GST 25.63
Total 391.84(for 2 months)

Eves the elve just anounced a 4.3c rate fix till
2006 so that will cut about $100 bucks of the bill and
add about $200 bucks to my taxes :-(
