Default California electric rates are getting ridiculous

I just received a notice from California Edison that Tier 3, 4 and 5
rates are increasing AGAIN in the first quarter of 2009. My electric
bill is typically $400 a month. I don't think very many people fall
into Tier 1 or 2. Here's what really ****es me off: the electric
utilities fail to take advantage of clean nuclear power. They keep
wasting our money on natural gas, wind power, and all kinds of
inefficient "green" ideas but they are blind to nuclear power. If we
had nuclear power we'd only be paying a fraction of the price and it
would be good for the environment!!

Hi,
You wouldn't mind building that clean nuke plant in your back yard, Eh?
Here it is for me locked in next 5 years at 7 cents/kwh natural gas
heating is subsidized when price goes up over set threshold. Tonight it
is -15C and the price of NG is 5.9cents/Gigajoule.
I am in Albeeta.
