Letter from my electric company today

[Horse with no Name]

(Here is the foreplay)We want to thank you for being a loyal Reliant Energy Customer. We sincerely appreciate having the opportunity to serve your electric needs.
We want to assure you we are continuing to work to keep prices low, and we realize we have to earn your business everyday.

(Here is where they fuck me)As a result of extreme changes in market conditions--most notably the recent increase in the price of natural gas--many of our competitors, including TXU,have either raised their prices or requested a price increase. These market conditions affect Reliant Energy as well. Therefore, it is necessary to raise your rate and change your savings plan accordingly.

I paid a $700 electric bill last month.
I suppose with this new increase I can count on a 4 digit electric bill at some point this winter.:scared:
