[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess. Everything will be more expensive as a result. The environmental actions alone add. $1000 a year to a typical energy bill. Then democrats will provide subsidies for protected status groups [/quote]

None of the bills signed increase energy cost.

They help buffer price increases. 
· HB242 (Delegate Joshua Cole) — Prohibits public utilities from increasing monthly payments more than once a year for customers enrolled in a budget plan. Passed with bipartisan support.

· HB1002 (Delegate Kathy Tran) — Prohibits some utilities from disconnecting residential customers without attempting to arrange a payment plan or connect a customer with bill payment assistance or energy savings programs. Passed with bipartisan support.[/quote]

Actually they did pass some bills that will increase costs for most residential energy customers. HBB 770 allows utilities to provide discounts on electricity bills for low income customers and then recoup these discounts by raising bills for everyone else. [/quote]
