I remember when Mel Thompson was pushing the approval for Seabrook Station. One of his comments was something like....when Seabrook comes on line, power will be so cheap that it won't be worth the cost of sending somebody out to read the meters.
We pay around $22/month for power in Meredith and my power is OFF at the panel. What are the benefits of the Co-Op again?
