Are we being gouged by the electric company?
I've noticed a new charge on our electric bill called PCA. It was explained that it stands for Power Cost Adjustment, which varies from month to month to compensate for the regular fluctuations in the price of the coal and natural gas used to generate the electricity you consume.
What a crock! Our house is totally electric. Our last bill was $423.00 for the electricity...the PCA charge was $268.00. Doesn't the cost of the electricity already factor in the cost of making it? But now we have to pay for it to be generated. I think ... (Asked by Velociraptor)

Is anybody else singing the electric bill blues?
We live in Texas, and our electric bill jumped from $178 to $352 in ONE MONTH, and we've done everything in our power to conserve. Is it not enough that we're being gouged at the pumps? Is anyone else here having to pull funds from their grocery budget to pay their electric bill?

Hey, I live in Texas too. You must live around the Dallas area because mine when up to $355 from last month which was $230. I guess I have to turn off all the lights to keep cool, cut down the time I spend on the Internet, use the BBQ grill, take out the kiddie pool to keep cool, walk to the store for excerise and start living like my grandparent in the olden days...(Answered by nannygoat) |

What's the cost of air conditioning in a 15 x 15 room?
I live in a residential hotel and have just bought an A/C. The owner (who is famous for price gouging) says I have to pay the extra cost of electricity to cool my room. The A/C is a 5,150 BTU Sears Kenmore. What should I be expected to pay? I'm in Southern California. Temp outside is around 94 with 45% humidity. Temp inside is about 110. Also, is it legal to demand this payment - or is it legal to insist that nobody can even HAVE an A/C? (That's what they ... (Asked by StrayShelly)

I can't beleive you went without an A/C this long. Whether or not you have to pay her should be in the contract, if the owner regularly pays the electric bill then you shouldn't have to pay, unless stated otherwise in your agreement that you have to pay for the extra electricity for air conditioning. Have a cool summer!...(Answered by BigE) |

A modern gouge is a tool similar to a chisel except its blade edge is not flat, but instead is curved or angled in cross-section. The modern version is generally hafted inline, the blade and handle typically having the same long axis. If the angle of the plane of the blade is on the outer surface of the curve the gouge is called an 'incannel' gouge, otherwise it is known as an 'outcannel' gouge. Gouges with angled rather than curved blades are often called 'V-gouges' or 'vee-parting tools'. Variations include 'crank-neck' gouges, 'spoon-bent' gouges, etc. Gouges are used in wood ...(Answered by ) |
