Energy Cost is Killing the Middle Class, and it is Sad

I Currently live in a small town in eastern Kentucky. I live with my mom and my fiance. We stayed here in the hopes that with us being with my mom, we would be able to make life easier. My father, he passed away in 2008 and it is still so hard to wake up every day for me and know that he is not going to be sitting there at the table watching the news anymore like he always did when he was present. But either way, we now live with her and time is rough. I have been applying for jobs every were and I cannot find any. Hopefully pres Obama does something soon, and fast because without jobs being available everyone starts feel useless...I feel like I am a disappointment to my family because I do not have money to help with all of the bills that come in.. It makes me feel like I failed as a son. I was intensely close to my father. When he passed away, a big part of my heart went with him. he was a well respected man in our community and no matter what was going on, he was always right there at my side and he was my dad. He was always the type of person that kept your self esteem up and makes you feel like you can do anything. I truly felt when my dad was alive that I would be unstoppable in anything I wanted to do....That night in the hospital, I saw him lying there on that breathing machine and my heart shattered the moment I walked in, I took his hand and I kissed him on the head, I leaned in to his ear and I told him "Dad, I love you SO much, I am going to miss you forever but I know your in pain and Its OK if you need to just go. I will understand" then my dad Squeezed my hand and tried to say "I love you the most" but it was muffled by the breathing machine.. I looked down at my dad and I just wised it was all a nightmare. I felt like I was being ripped in half. I remember my father he would always tell me every time I said "I can't " Do something, he would always look at me and say "Can't never could do anything". To some it is just a little bit of advice that your father or grandfather may have told you. But for me this because the way i wanted to live my life. I wanted to to do something big so that my father could be proud and say "hey, that's my boy" unfortunately, He has passed on and now I just have to hope that he is still around somewhere and that he is watching. I also think of many things, like having children, I want children badly, but now I have to get it in my head that when I do have children, my dad wont be able to hold them or tell them stories like he wanted to and that breaks my heart as well. .....
Sorry I had to rant about the back story of my family, now here is the main argument.
Why can't our friends and neighbors get together and tell these stupid electric companies to stop doing the" buy and resell " way of life that they live buy. This is the truth people. Where I live I am on Grayson Rural Electric. This company buys the services from Kentucky Utilities. . here is the part where we are getting screwed. The average bill on Kentucky Utilities runs about $70-120 a month.... Our bill we just got in from Grayson Rural Electric is $334.00. Do you all see the logic in this. It is the same electric and the same installation. but the resell price is about 200-300% interest. furthermore, I live right off from one one of the busy roads, 7 miles from downtown and we do not qualify for KU services. So they say...We have no choice but to use GRECC. This is not a choice and this is simply running ourselves and all of our neighbors into debt, This should be against the law and electric should be regulated. One set price. I am tired of not getting choices and I am tired of watching these companies basically come in to your bank account with a shovel and just take whatever they want at that time., People are dying, people are worried and depressed and these corporations that do this to people should be abolished and a good energy system put in place so that this never happens again....now a lot of you may wander why I talked so much about my father. He was against this particular thing as well, and God as my witness I will never give up on the friends and neighbors that understand the pain and the hardships we have to deal with daily. When the bills come in, they sometimes get paid...sometimes they have to wait. But either way we fight to the bitter end for some kind of a change to regulate energy. One last note, When your electric bill cost more then your house payment. There is a BIG PROBLEM.....Thank you SO much and I hope you all feel the same way.
