My local electric utility just got a rate hike approved by the state utilities commission and is already pushing for another. They're putting the costs of cleaning up the 2014 coal ash spill in the Dan River on customers, the bastards. As long as utilities are permitted to make mistakes and pass the costs of cleanup on to taxpayers or their customers, they will, and bills will rise.
