[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the proposal.
Here's a breakdown of where you'd fall based on your income.
Households earning less than $28,000 a year would pay a fixed delivery rate of $24 per month.
Households earning under $69,000, that fixed price goes up to $34.
Households earning between $69,000 and $180,000, that price goes up to $73.
Households earning over $180,000 dollars will pay $128.
[b]Everyone's average kilowatt hour rate drops from 47 cents to 27 cents.[/b][/quote]

If I'm being billed based on income, I'm getting my money's worth. Off the top of my head, crypto mining doesn't make financial sense based primarily on the cost of energy. If I'm locked into $128 a month, all of the sudden that 5 figure bill doesn't matter. [/quote]

This actually creates a disincentive for people to use less electricity by pushing more costs into the fixed component. I don't see how that's good for the environment.[/quote]

That is the delivery rate.  There would still be a usage fee on top of that.[/quote]

I get it, but the usage fee will drop a lot as much of that cost shifts to the fixed "delivery" fee.[/quote]
