I am among the countless individuals who grapple daily with overwhelming electric bills – a struggle that too many of us know yet remains ignored. The steep electric bills have unfortunately become a part of our lives. However, I believe it is high time we stand together against this predicament. Many electric companies seem to be profiteering at the cost of customers, making it exceedingly hard for us to cope with the soaring costs of essential utilities.

According to The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, between 2001 and 2020, electricity costs have increased by over 34%, a staggering number, much higher than wage growth for many individuals and families. The consequence? More and more people are having to choose between necessities like groceries, paying rent, or keeping the lights on at home.

We cannot stand by while corporations rake in profits at the expense of hardworking individuals and families. It is time we demand that regulators hold these electric companies accountable. By signing this petition, you are taking a stand against the unfair practices of these companies and demanding change. Together, we can stop this unjust practice and ensure that everyone has access to affordable electric power. Sign the petition now.
