“The meter is just the starting point. The real game is played in the fine print—and the house always wins.”

Let’s be honest: when you open your utility bill—whether it comes from NIPSCO in Indiana, PG&E in California, or ConEd in New York—you aren’t just paying for the electrons or gas molecules that flowed into your home. You are paying for a meticulously engineered system of wealth extraction. You are funding a labyrinth of corporate strategies, regulatory loopholes, and pricing models designed by some of the highest-paid engineers and lobbyists in the world to do one thing: shift risk and cost from shareholders to you.
