No idea, The State approves rates.

One could argue that RI is too small to be a state.

Hell, I got electric heat in the house we rent and the bill was 481$. Utilities in this state are down right insane. Thermostats set on 60

Zahara in Attleboro is nice for rec. Especially when Nova is super busy.

you are not alone. the rates went up 150% in nov '22 for both gas and electricity. My normal 80 dollar electric is now 230. Yah thats almost triple. ouch. Gas over 300 last month. Our place is a 1950's cape with minimal insulation and old Windows. we turn the heat to 68 around dinner time otherwise its at 60 or off. I was on a mission to save electricity last month and got the electric bill down to 170. But I hardly did any laundry so catching up on it will cost me.

…it’s not that well insulated. I keep it at 69 during the day, 65 at night. Significantly lower gas bill.

I thought it was just me going crazy. My gas bill tripled last month and me and my wife always have the thermostat set to low 60s.

Trying to point to the percent that we import is misleading. Gas and oil are commodities that are traded on markets globally. The fact that Russian supply is pretty much off the market for the west has raised prices globally regardless of the percent we import. Domestically produced supply is also effected by price increases. We also export our supply and sell at the increased global prices

8% of us gas/oil was Russian imported Thank Biden for emptying the oil reserves. 3% being crude oil. In 2021, imports from Russia accounted for 8% of all U.S. petroleum imports, which includes the 3% share of crude oil imports and the 20% share of petroleum product imports

You can thank Russia for fucking up the “normal” supply of gas an oil

They are now. Natural gas prices everywhere (literally went up and RIE announced a big rate hike that went into effect in the fall. But it’s literally a global issue right none. Not RI specific.

I feel like this is what I'm going to have to do. I've even moved them from 1 side of the driveway to the other. I feel like they just forget, but I'm not sure why.

It’s actually not. It’s slightly bigger than Yosemite - by a hair basically but it is.

Reply to Cranston trash issues... by BobJacobs2022
When I lived in cranston i had this issue. I was over by the Cranston parkade. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for it. Waste management always insinuated it was somehow my fault, much like everyone else here said they were out on time not over flowing nothing blocking them ect. I stood outside once and waved at the driver and asked him if everything was ok with my cans ect and told him what was wrong he comfimed all was good and never had an issue again.

Reply to comment by Megasoulflower in Where in Providence can I casually have a drink and listen to some live music? by Megasoulflower
They probably are referring to most democrat controlled cities with tough gun laws. Lots of shootings and stabbings, so people should be very careful. At least Providence isn't as bad as Chicago or Baltimore.

I know their supply rate has gone up and I can see the delivery has too but from what I can see RIEnergy rates appear higher. Im curious what the historical delivery rates have been and why the dramatic increase.

Pretty much but I don't know what it should do I think that Washington County Rhode Island Kent County Rhode Island New London and Windham County Connecticut should become its own state the rest of Connecticut can you go with New York and Providence and Bristol and Newport County can go to Massachusetts
