Every month, Rebecca Michalski takes a deep breath before opening her electric bill. She lives on a fixed income, and heating her small house this winter has been staggering: Her February charge was $940.08 โ€” more than her check.

My electric bill for the last few months has been almost $200.

I live in an under 400 sqft apartment that I keep under 68 degrees all year (it's also like 70% basement only a portion of one wall and the entrance is not beneath ground) It increased from maybe $100 last year to almost $200 during this time. Energy costs here are absolutely insane.

Noted, my costs in summer are markedly less. Around $70-90. But the winter costs went up dramatically.
