Commercials About Energy! Who do they really benefit?
Sometimes I really get upset when I hear a commercial on the radio or TV that is pure BS.
The latest is from two large Texas utilities that are bad mouthing Variable Rate contracts. One even refers to Green Power as "cheap" right now. They are pushing fixed rate and calling them cheap as well. "Lock them in now before the prices start back up". Yes, they will eventually go up but not for a long time. Natural Gas is plentiful right and producers are weighing the benefits of continuing to drill since the economics are near break even or a loss in some cases. They are praying the economy improves so prices will again achieve the exorbitant levels of the recent past so they can pad their bulging pockets at middle class expense. Excuse me for digressing. Just remember that when utilities are pushing you toward a direction, it is in their best interest, not yours.
Bringing Meaning To Madness
Be vigilant, alert, when commercials are trying to steer you away from or toward a specific direction, and especially when they use terms that refer to your best interest, or save you money, or lock in now before.......
Can I help you find something?
