$1500 a month for gas and electric? I'm far from a fan of the so-called "deregulation" of the utilities, but it's been several years (2001?) since they started the process, and if that was at all realistic you'd think prices would already have spiked somewhere along the line to levels approaching 50% of that - which so far as I remember, they haven't.

Reading the article it sounds like the guy just picked a random number that sounded high for no reason at all other than drama.
