Thu, 17 May 2012 01:33:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Shirley Buchanan http://ca2pr.com/2008/09/25/politics-and-utilities/comment-page-1/#comment-10934 Shirley Buchanan Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:32:52 +0000 http://ca2pr.com/?p=689#comment-10934 My daughter lives in Paseo Monaco in Bayamon. She is an optometry student there. She is having a problem with her electricity bills and I was wondering if anyone there could help direct me as to who in the governmet or power company can help. She lived in the same complex last year and her highest electric bill for a three bedroom aparrtment, with 3 people, was $160. She moved to a two bedroom apartment this year and she recieved a $800 bill in October. She has contacted the electric company to do an investigation and they have come back and said that the bill is correct, she just recieved another bill for October of 600$ for one month. There are only two people living in the apartment and they only run their air conditioners, 2 of them one in each bedroom, at night to be able to sleep. Several people in her class that leave at Paseo are having the same trouble one bill was $1000 for one month. However her neighbors have not had any difficuties and still have relatively low electric bills, under $200 a month. Is anyone having this same problem and does anyone have telephone numbers or names of people that could help with this situation. My daughter lives in Paseo Monaco in Bayamon.

I lived in PR all my life until 2006. I moved from THERE to San Diego! This is a very interesting blog, and I'll keep looking around to see why did you guys end up in Rincon.

They only use about 1 lb of fuel per day (not gallons) but 1 lb which is a little more than 1/4 gallon. Much cheaper than running a generator. You can also convert your generator to propane.

I don't think solar works very well in the mountainous areas due to the clouds and rain, but maybe that could at least be a supplement. I also want to get off of gasoline...hybrid electric conversion maybe? Or sugar cane ethanol? We're not sure. But in any case, the utilities including gas are like an addiction if you have no choice but to use them and make a corrupt system ever richer. Fran, et al,

I hate being held hostage by corruption and/or ineptitude. Steve wants to go large-scale solar with our future Maunabo home, but solar can only do so much. I believe AC and fridges/ freezers use the most energy in a home, and most solar systems can't handle the load. FreeBrain: I had read about the AEE boss several weeks ago and it was so hard to wrap my brain around such (planned?) incomptence. Fran So what’s a person to do???

Many peoples electric bills are nearly the same cost as their monthly rent. It's incredibly ridiculous. FreeBrain – I have heard from several locals that the electric company in PR is VERY crooked.

I want to add , the AEE is a government monopoly and the current government hasn't been doing much to diversify our energy sources or even done good maintenance like cutting tree branches near poles etc!!! They have done nothing other than doubling our bills out of proportion, way higher than the adjustments for the FUEL prices...(I believe they are stealing money!) The latest AEE CHIEF just explained PUBLICLY that some insects were entering the "CONTADOR" or measuring device!! Supposedly they were causing short circuits that were producing even HIGHER BILLS to some customers... ONLY IN Puerto Rico!!! (Some UNIVERSITY of PR professor denied the possibility).... THE AEE BOSS was fired or asked to go by the governor, but some clause in his contract was going to PAY HIM almost a MILLION DOLLARS if something like that happened! I believe close to $350 thousand will be paid and I believe this is all kind of planned!.... (This is the same guy that invented the PALO SECO PLANT FIRE near SJ was sabotage or terrorism and the FBI later denied it! It was proved it was bad maintenance).... Our governor, Mr VILA, is acussed of 24 federal charges !... But the same corruption happens in USA ...That's why I predicted almost a year ago, that OIL PRICES were gonna be down sharply before the election! Like I didn't knew REPUBLICANS control OIL prices and The price was fixed!.... ANOTHER PROOF!... Really LOVELY TRUTH!

Who knows...I did grow up in PR and I know that every where you went the abuelitos y padres were all talking about the island politics!
