Utilities have spent decades hiding the health risks of methane gas in your home, from asthma to cancer, while spending millions to make sure you never find out.
Safer, more affordable alternatives exist. We’re making sure you know about them.
They see us as their own personal money tree. 💸 "Pyros said some residents believe their bills have doubled or tripled even when they say their energy use has not changed."

Your energy bill is roughly 30% higher than it was in 2021. Utilities will tell you it's inflation, aging infrastructure, or data centers.
What they won't tell you is that their profits have never been higher
So they hike the rate... then 5 days later they file to hike the rate again... is their math not mathing? WTF.

Families are choosing between groceries and utility bills. Utility executives are choosing between their third vacation home and their country club membership.
Something has to change.
🤑$1.69 Billion.
That's how much New England's largest utility @eversource.bsky.social pocketed in 2025.
That's more than double its profits from the year before while customers across the region struggled to keep up with skyrocketing utility bills.
Essential services shouldn't come with impossible choices.
We're fighting to protect consumer rights and ensure utility companies serve communities, not corporate profits.
Monopoly utilities don't have to compete for your business. They just have to own the politicians who set the rules. And right now, they're very good at both.
✅ Good news: inflation dropped to 2.4%.
❌ Bad news: your energy bills are rising 3 to 4 times faster.
Inflation may be easing. Utility greed isn't.

If we don't demand stronger protections for public comment processes, every clean energy rule in the country is vulnerable.

Gas utilities now have the tools to flood regulators with AI-generated opposition, manufacture the appearance of public pushback, and let the vote do the rest.
They did it in SoCal with @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social to reject clean air rules.
@pecoconnect.bsky.social cited infrastructure upgrades to justify a 10%+ rate hike — then posted $814 million in record profits. Classic corporate greed: customers foot the bill while shareholders reap the rewards. How much of that money will actually go back into the infrastructure as promised?
Tonight, Trump will go on and on about how the economy has never been better. But he won't mention that your energy bills are rising 3-4x faster than inflation while utility companies pocket record profits.
Utility companies like AES Ohio continue to raise rates while families are struggling to get by. It's time that they were held accountable! Join us.

Nothing says "we care about our customers" like forcing families to choose between groceries and keeping the lights on.
A system that rewards utility CEOs and punishes families isn’t broken. It’s corrupt.
It's time to change it.
+ fucking 1
An AI-generated campaign flooded @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social with thousands of fake opposition emails, and regulators voted to kill clean air rules that, by their own staff's estimate, would have prevented thousands of premature deaths.
We've entered a new era of utility corruption.
We are being CRUSHED by utility costs: and Eversource has the good social sensibility to share that their profits have more than DOUBLED: no wonder, they are building their empire on the coattails of our back-breaking labor.

📈56 million Americans are about to pay more on their utility bills while utility CEOs reward themselves with million-dollar bonuses.

Utilities have one job: deliver affordable, reliable energy.
Instead, they deliver record profits to Wall Street and higher bills to you.
Make it make sense.
They're jacking up your bills while reporting record profits.
They're spending YOUR money on political lobbying.
They're blocking clean energy to protect their fossil fuel empire.
Who are they? Investor-owned utility companies.
We wrote you a little Valentine's Day poem:
🌹 Roses are red.
💙 Violets are blue.
🤑 Utilities love profits,
💔 more than they love you.
The utility industry spent decades rigging the system in their favor.
We're exposing that corruption and fighting to end it.

In 2025, utilities requested $31 BILLION in rate increases. That's more than DOUBLE what they asked for in 2024.
This affected 81 million Americans while corporate profits soared.
How is this acceptable?
Reminder: Utilities that say they can't afford to lower your bills paid CEOs $647 million in a single year.
https://energyandpolicy.org/as-customers-struggled-utility-ceos-pay-spiked-last-year/
Investor-owned utilities spend millions convincing you they're your friendly neighborhood energy provider. Meanwhile, they're using YOUR bill money to lobby against clean energy, fund political campaigns, and pad executive salaries.
Wake up.
Maryland is putting utilities on notice: modernize existing infrastructure with new tech or you don't get approval for expensive new projects.
THIS is how you hold utilities accountable.
