Compare Plans NowThe System Is Rigged Against You
You're not bad at picking electricity companies. The industry is designed to overwhelm smart people so they give up and pick whoever has the catchiest jingle. Here's what they're hiding:
The big brands are overcharging you. TXU and Reliant spend millions on TV ads, billboards, and stadium naming rights. Guess who pays for that? You do. Their rates run 15-25% above market average for the exact same electricity.
"Lowest rate" is a lie. That 8.5 cent rate? It only applies at exactly 1,000 kWh. Use 999 kWh? Different rate. Use 1,001 kWh? Different rate. The advertised numbers are engineered to win comparisons, not save you money.
Most "100% renewable" plans are theater. They're buying renewable energy credits after the fact. Green Mountain has been 100% renewable since 1997. Most of the others? Marketing checkbox.
No bias. No favorites. Same treatment for TXU as for companies you've never heard of.
