NOT RUMOR: Massachussetts energy companies are arbitrarily declaring a 64 percent rate increase Nov 1.

Gosh, that’s almost two months before the official start of winter in Massachussetts!!! Ought to get nice and cold before winter “officially” starts. I myself call “after Halloween” the start of winter, but that’s not “official”.

Massachussetts is not alone in this, lots of other states are going to hammer the rates at about the same time. Question: Energy is a commodity. How do they know they will HAVE TO spike the rates like this? They don’t, it is all politics.
