How outrageous have your utility bills been since quarantine?
The problem with utility is that environmental conditions can drastically affect usage. But if what your saying is that the average bill has gone up in the last couple of years, I agree. My electric bill averages now up to 70 dollars more than previous years despite the fact most of my lights are now led and having newer appliances (some energy star) which should be more efficient than the old ones. The cost of electricity discourages people from keeping their homes at a comfortable temp for fear that their bills will go through the roof. Electric companies are also using steps to chargeback expenses to the consumer in order to maintain their profit margin.
