This is actually a good thing. More people should live off the grid.

I'd like to know why, as mine has gone up both in S.FL with FPL, and also went up in NE FL with FPU.

Gas prices at the pump are also absurdly high with regular almost hitting $4 per gallon, and premium as much as $4.50
Funny how the left freaked out when prices went up to $2 per gallon when Bush was in office. Then at $3 per gallon, they were ready to lynch him because "he was paying off all his oil buddy cronies".

Yet now, all I hear is crickets.
Hypocrisy anyone?

You call that absurdly high? You pay less than any other industrialized nation where the state doesn't control all energy.

Drilling down in the data in your link:

Table 5.6.A. Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-Use Sector - All Sectors - U.S. Total
Cents per kilowatthour
2002 6.97
2009 9.70
2014 10.35

2002-2009 (pre Obama) = 2.73 increase (up 39%)
2009 - 2014 (Obama) = .65 increase (up 6%)
Thread Killer.

I have no idea why the Bushbots continue to post after this devastating ruination.

That would be state and local taxes pushing it over $4/gallon.
