Business Editor - Here's another e-mail question from Rod:
Why can we not have a statement about each provider that says “all variable rates are “based on xx cents above the price of (natural gas) which number can be found at yy website.” The reason is that it keeps consumers in the dark about what they are paying unless they go with fixed price contracts
With that info, we really would be informed consumers with the power to choose.
I feel like the Power To Choose website is certainly better than nothing but is still stacked against the consumer since there is no info on how the rate is calculated that we can easily shop for, once you get beyond the fixed rate period or teaser rate period.
