Utility tyranny

Here in Pennsylvania we’re drilling for natural gas, but are we customers benefiting from this drilling? No; our gas rates are going up, not down. This is grossly unfair and unjust to expect people to continue to shell out what little cash they have to the feeding frenzy of avaricious utility companies and their CEOs.

The utility companies should not have tyrannical control over people’s lives.

What happens if more and more people find they cannot pay their utility bills because of higher rates? To shut off these customers constitutes an immoral, unjust action that cries out to providence for revenge.

Smart meters are coming. We are being forced against our will to take them because of a stupid law. We will have no choice in the matter of installing these smart meters. Everybody must wake up and realize this is about control of our electric usage. This is a form of tyranny. Smart meters have been reported to have caught fire and burned houses down. And guess what: no homeowner’s insurance covers smart meter-caused damage. People have reported strange health problems after smart meters were installed.

Guest speakers on talk radio, who have researched this, are warning people about these perils.
