and most solar stocks have been down this past month, probably due to relations with china, since most of our solar products are made there, and trades are becoming increasingly difficult.

two weeks ago one of my exports to CH was rejected because of a new department that hadn't existed when I shipped it; I didn't follow their policy becuase it hadn't existed when I shipped.
That'd be an issue too but this company is notorious for anytime they spend money on anything customers get these "bizarrely high bills that double from the same time the year before"

And their response is generally "pay it or we'll shut it off, don't like it? fuck you you have no options"

somebody maybe spliced into your electric line and stole it and now you are paying for it?
I do live in the hood, but the electric is normal... its the 650$ in gas that I am worried about. Like the average usage for a home in July is 0 therms and apparently I used 22!! They are acting like its totally normal... I forgot to add that last month is was 550 and they said they hadn't read our meter in a year and they would fix it. Well, now they say, OH< WE FIXED IT< and YOU USED IT< TOO BAD. It makes no sense. I just moved in in MAY. This is crazy. its more than my rent. But, What about what they said last month? they won't even acknowledge that.

Your electric company does your gas?

If they changed anything recently like how they get their power that'd be why....here the power company just built a new million dollar solar field you can drive by and see just these massive panels in a field that is huge.

Shockingly it's been hot this year and everyone's bill has skyrocketed....it's simple math what really happened is they went "well because it's 100 everyday throw on some extra money to pay for this solar field".
Yeah its Rochester Gas and Electric... I guess thats all I have been used to most of my life living here - there is ZERO competition.

Furthermore, the only gas I have used is probably to heat hot water - and I don't use that much, and I am the only person in this house who has an unusual bill.

I have the same situation where the only thing in my house that uses gas is my hot water heater. I have 4 people and my last bill was 32 dollars, and about 24 dollars of that bill is the fee for being connected that you always get, keep that in mind.

Bad neighborhood could equal gas leak. that is something they do constantly check here. Probably a law and most likely need to with all of the construction going on. I know one empty house where they found a leak and shut off the gas.
