A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
$1.11 per therm for Nicor in May and .99/therm for Peoples gas. I turned back my water heater a bit and wash clothes in cold water and spin a few extra times then put in dryer. Maybe a clothes line soon for bulky items. What concerns me is natural gas prices last April/May went to .58/per therm and never went down. I hope $1.11 is for a short time and not what’s to expect next winter.
