I looked. It didn't make a nearly triple difference from the app estimate vs what my bill was

They dont really care about the customers.. never really have with a general state sponsored monopoly.. they care about doing what their told by the regulators and staying compliance.. in the normal world, the government would encourage cost savings and help subsidize the end consumer… now they care about bull shite green energy and subsidize the energy companies with little regard to the consumer
This is true. The only customers they care about are industrial/commercial customers. They give zero fricks about residential customers except when they can charge everything and anything under the mask of storm fees

You want the party of free enterprise to regulate the enterprise? I am confused?

The public service commission dictates energy rates, not the companies. Essentially, power generation companies operate breaking even by what the public pays. Companies like Entergy make money through their investments in their facilities etc.

Natural gas prices have tripled since January 2021. When the Administration has an overt policy to end the fossil fuel industry, we all pay for it.
(They neglect the other side of the the coin though, that fossil fuel is the primary source of the collective wealth & standard of living we all enjoy, plus we'd all be dead in 6 weeks without it.)

Factually incorrect.
Was true a year or so ago. Fuel Gas/Nat Gas prices are crazy low for this region.
Nat gas prices have plummeted

And I’m sorry to inform you but Louisiana pays some of the lowest, if not the lowest electric rates in the nation. No, I don’t have a link but it’s a fact.
This. Entergy stayed away from renewables for a long time to stay low. About ten years ago all 4-5 entergy jurisdictions were in the top 10 lowest rates in the country.

At this point, what prices are in control?

They still are among the lowest rates in the country. Google "utility bills high" elsewhere in the world and the UK and you will appreciate your low Entergy bill...

Your mortgage if you have a fixed rate.
Now that is if taxes and insurance are not included.
Sooner or later, Taxes and insurance escrow may exceed your mortgage payment in South Louisiana.

It’s the thousands of useless employees they have. They aren’t unique. Every utility is like them.

Eh, because the costs of "renewables" is higher than the cost of organic natural gas. I know you don't care or won't read, but we gotta have receipts for five years from now. We're the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas (and nearly for coal,) but let's ignore both, ignore nuke, and start killin some whales, brah!
Didn't Babblin Blanco "invest" state money in ethanol production Yeah.. It's neither here nor there, I'm sure. Except that shite went nowhere and failed, because it wasn't economically viable, which should be the death knell of anything, and everything.
MOOOAR.
So why did it require state subsidies in order to fail?
Go ahead, blame COVID, that's y'alls default for ignoring reality.
Suck it.
Continuing ignoring reality.
BTW, oil and natural gas are as organic as ethanol is. Carbon based feedstock, energy at the end. I'm not an engineer, but I'd rather rely on bedrock to do the dirty deed than using energy from *somewhere* to build and maintain bullshite "renewables."
Stuff is always dying, including plants, and sinking into bogs to be turned into oil/NatGas. That's renewable. "Fossil fuels" is a bullshite lefty label applied to get people to dislike it.

he good that comes to energy consumers and society from natural gas far exceeds the bad. Natural gas has:
abundant domestic availability
low prices for the foreseeable future
relative cleanliness compared to other fossil fuels
promising technological prospects (e.g., blue hydrogen) for a more benign environmental footprint
flexibility in electric power production, one application being a back-?up to renewable energy
economic use across a wide range of consumers and energy services
It seems absurd to ban or even restrict a product that has done, and is expected in the future to do, so much good for both energy consumers and the economy.

Thompson said the state entering the ethanol market ahead of other Southern states is futuristic. It positions us well for both petroleum and ethanol refineries. We're going to see a lot of activity. It's common sense to be producing alternative fuels with renewable resources. It will give us a better economic edge for the future but it's not going to replace petroleum. I predict there will be more and more petroleum companies that own ethanol plants.

An ethanol plant built in the late ’80s and upgraded to 66 MMgy in 2005 is now on the auction block. South Louisiana Ethanol LLC, located in Jesuit Bend, La., hasn’t been in operation for years, but could be—if it’s purchased at auction by someone intending to run it as an ethanol plant. “That’s the hope,” said Dan Rosenthal, chief operating officer for Schneider Industries, the company handling the auction. The facility would need a significant amount of work to operate as an ethanol plant because it isn't fully equiped.
The plant originally had a capacity of 44 MMgy but struggled with fermentation bugs. After it ceased production it was purchased by South Louisiana Ethanol, which upgraded the plant to 66 MMgy, Rosenthal told EPM. However, that company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2009, never having achieved ethanol production at the revamped facility.

I don't tolerate bullshite which impacts my family and everyone else in my state regardless of their level of education.
Louisiana the most exhausts me. But foolishness cannot be permitted to receive oxygen, or it spreads into a fire of stupidity. I know TD doesn't like reading, and nearly everyone in the thread scrolled by screaming "reeding? Why I need to reed? LSU! USL!," but I ETA: am creating a track record outside of the Advocate which is "I told you so 20 f*@ing years ago."
And yes, I know, they'll just talk about the little guy. :sigh:
But, Louisiana gonna Louisiana, ETA: so my expectations are low. But I'll have the same useless receipts as I did in the 90s.

My BIL has been with Entergy for 4 or 5 years.
He's making 150k a year.
That's why energy bills are so high.
