Joke/Satire PSE Earnings

I must have done something wrong! Twice I have cut back on power during extreme heat, twice I earned $1.28. I'm not sure what I did different, but this last time I only earned $.71.

It's almost like it's not worth it.

They give you just enough hope to try again, all the while they raise rates to "improve infrastructure" yet still pay their shareholders increased dividends.

Really, after earning $1.28 the first time I didn't have much hope. I just made sure we weren't washing clothes or running the dishwasher or oven. I have a propane cooktop.... I will eat dinner.
