Pepper your angus.

They once estimated my electricity usage for a whole fucking year, I got a huge credit once they bothered to come out and check. Thanks Enmax.

This was me last month. Got a 1600kwh correction because they’d been estimating for almost a year then came and replaced my meter with a new one

[Darkane]

Just gas usage for me was 35GJ, $332.

Locked in at 4.09, and $73.65 in carbon taxes.

Roughly 29% increase in gas bill just from carbon tax. That doesn’t seem right.

Fuck off.

Someone is feeling generous this morning.


Actual energy used $170.09 - Bill $525.03

$354.94 in taxes and fees. I know this is normal, but damn we get hosed.

This problem has been created because people claimed they wanted to see all the broken down charges because of "transparency", so they show the fees instead of just a single line value.

Turns out people didn't want transparency, they just don't want to pay fees because they can't be bothered to understand what they are there for.

This won't apply to anyone on here, but it's certainly applicable to the people who don't open their bill and just complain about the total line

Definitely agree.

The only one that aggravates me is nearly 20% of gas bill is Carbon Tax.
Everything else is the cost of doing business.

Fuck off.

Carbon tax is currently 50$ per tonne and next year it starts increasing at 15$ per tonne until 170$ per tonne in 2030. So if you think that's bad just wait until 2030 when your carbon tax would be 250$ on that current bill.

Fuck.

This was my dad with his cell bill. So upset its 400$ per month.

Open it up: 80$/month per plan x 2, plus 60$ per month device cost x 2 (iphone 12 max largest storage), plus 75 for their home internet hub, plus some US roaming charges. Le sigh. But we did get it down to <250 so I guess worth complaining.

By then we'll all be using electric furnaces.

I mean, it sort of makes sense, but I hate that you still get charged all the fees with no usage. We had an electric water tank at my last place, so in the summer, we'd just shut off the furnace. We'd still regularly pay $90-$100 for gas, with 0GJ usage on the bill.

You make me sad.

[pheoxs]

Someone's salty as fuck over ... me pointing out the carbon tax schedule?

Are facts just that scary to you? ooOOooOooooOOooOOOoo words.

My bill was $354 for gas and electric this month. 1978 build house and you can see daylight in the window frame corners, furnace runs about 80% of the time below -15° C.

$575 for us, but again, because our gas bill was for over 40 days and not just a month.

I plan to create friction across my skin to stay warm. But then they catch me on the other side with (baby) oil taxes.

Fuck off.

I was wondering why my bill jumped $100 from last jan despite being locked in at almost the same rate. Fucken carbon taxes what garbage.

So what can the average albertan do between now and 2030 to avoid having to pay $1000 utility bills each month?

I'm no graduate from the University of Science, but I do dabble with a calculator, on occasion. I struggle with the Carbon Tax on account a if I burn $60 worth of natural gas in a month to heat my house, the carbon tax adds almost precisely 100% to that. (That's another $60 for those trying to keep score.)
If in that same month I burn roughly $55 worth of gasoline to go throw paint on a statue or carry my used oil to a storm sewer in Aspen, I pay an additional $5 in carbon tax as I think it's roughly 9¢/L these days? Want to call it 10%? That's fine. But it sure as fuck isn't 100%.

So I took the cleanest burning hydrocarbon we have readily available, did something important with it like not freeze the family to death, and I pay about a 100% penalty.
Take an equivalent $-value of filthy, Chemical-Ali gasoline and burn it to do something trivial & frivolous and I get penalized about 10%.

The last time I told someone this, he looked at me like I was dumb. But when he went out for lunch, I rubbed the entire lip of his coffee cup on my grundel while whispering "here's some carbon for your tax".

They should introduce a dildo tax so trudeau can understand what it feels like to pay tax on a necessity of life
