I agree... but it eventually reaches a point where a customer can only do so much. When 2/3 of your bill is devoted just to fuel surcharges (and every indication of it going even higher), its scarey!

On this island, by law the electrical utility company is mandated to recieve at the minimum of 20% profit every year. Not to mention there are laws in place that residential addresses have to use the local electrical company for all electric needs. There is a recent addition to that clause where you can use solar for your hot water tank for home and your pool, but thats it.

Gotta love the caribbean!
