Thankfully we will *not* be seeing an absurd 150% increase to the customer charge on our bills from Austin Energy (10 USD/mo to 25 USD/mo; instead it starts at 13 USD/mo and ramps up to 15 USD/mo over a couple years). But our so-called municipally owned energy company and city council still approved a rate design that increases the bills of most residential customers while decreasing the bills of most commercial customers.

I'll take slowing the bleeding, but what we really need is to stop it entirely.
