You have no idea what you are talking about. First off there are 3 major energy providers in NJ alone so there is no monopoly. You may be in an area where you don't get to choose but you pay exactly the same as someone who can choose that is using the same company. Secondly the state DOES control what they can charge for energy. So when gasis $4 a gallon and the power company has to pay more too they are actually loosing money by supplying you with energy.
Also if you think they increased your bill take good hard look at it. You may be being charged for an estimated gas bill because your gas meter is in the house and it isn't being read. I just went over that witha friend last night. They were charged about $100 more for estimated usage when realistically it is probably the same use as the previous bill. And yeah if you keep your house at 70 maybe you should think about putting on a few more layers of clothing while you are in the house
