Efficiency and renewable charge?? $4.00 at least a month or ( $48.00 a year) for 2(energy lightbulbs) $3.00 at home deopt! oh and free information on Solar power
Now lets review the other charges,assessments, revenue based pilots,payback to Brookhaven for LILCO over charges on taxes??
A 6 billion dollar LILCO/Shoreham bailout. 30 year bonds that started payback 26 years ago SHOW US THE MONEY!! now the debt is 8 billion.
HMM, if the ratepayers have been footing the payment for 26 years this debt should be almost 3/4 paid. How did it go up 2 billion dollars.
