I suggest checking this map.

Rates will need to be scaled up to match reality.  That said, population growth, inflation, and a dozen factors will naturally drive the rates upwards at some point in the future?  What happens then?  If you are going to go through with this, which I strongly advise against, it ought to scale in order to cope with changing situations.

It does scale up: see Section 1-6.

But wow, electricity in Hawaii is almost triple what I pay here in Georgia? If nothing else, I think it'd at least be good to pass the last bit of the bill.

Motion to table

Senators, there is now a vote on the motion to table. The vote shall last two days, or until sufficient support exists for the motion to pass or fail. For the table to be successful, two-thirds of non-abstaining Senators must support the motion.

Senators, please vote aye, nay, or abstain on the motion to table.

I am desperately looking for something to actually respond to there, but your posts are seriously so devoid of anything substantive to actually latch on to that I'm really at a loss. Statements like..

If you have a binding price ceiling, there will be a shortage.  That isn't really debatable.  It is in fact a mathematical surety that a binding price ceiling will cause a shortage.  It is as sure as 2+2 equaling 4 that binding price ceilings cause shortages.  To argue otherwise is the equivalent of saying that 2+2 = 5.

.. are so padded out and meaningless that your entire post could be simplified down to "Nuh uh."

Sounds like 75% of every essay I've ever written.

The motion to table fails; debate resumes.
