this story was used as a teaser during a promo for the 11 p.m. news on one of the atlanta stations last night. a tampa man and his roommate living in a one-bedroom trailer received a $100,000 power bill, after having their power turned back on just two weeks earlier. it just sounds absurd. my house is bigger than that, and i don’t think i’d pay that much in a lifetime! i would flip out if my power bill said i owed $99,999. the power company later said the bill resulted from a computer error.

That’s some error!
We have been in an “energy crisis” for going on five years here in CA and we routinely receive electric bills from $500-1,000 each summer month. We’re so well-known here for our moderate weather but in the summer it gets pretty darned HOT! I guess you could beat me with some humidity stories, though, lol.
