I just got a letter that says my village (Morton Grove, IL) contracted
with an electrical supplier to provide juice that ComEd was providing.
Effective rate goes from 8.5 cents per kwh to 4.42.
If I don't opt out, I'm in.
Sounds too good to be true.
Anybody else run into this?


Volt? *Hell, no.
Get a Prius at about half the price.

IMHO, hybrids are only economical if you drive more miles than average
~12,000 yr.


They are only economical if you drive in cities and get a "plug in
hybrid".
