Fewer unpaid power bills in Utah than other parts of nation April 29th, 2008 @ 7:06am
Tom Callan reporting
Around the nation, stacks of unpaid utility bills are blamed on the limping economy. But how about Utah?
Collection agencies have fewer deadbeats to call in Utah regarding power bills.
"The electric rates here in Utah are much lower than in portions of the country where this has been reported," said Rocky Mountain Power's Margaret Oler.
She says fewer customers have to fear a cutoff. But in places where it is freezing, such as Minnesota, up to 19 percent of the power company's customers are falling behind.
People may want to move to Utah if they live in the upper Midwest, where the power company disconnects up to 650 customers every day.

Why is it that when in discussion, information that indicates bad behavior on the part of Utah (teen suicide, bankruptcy, MLM/scam activities, poor economy, antidepressant use, etc) is poopo'd yet information such as this is trumpeted from the tops of the mountains?

I was just wondering why there wasn't already a thread on this crucial story.

Because this evidence clearly establishes the Mormon Church as God's one true Church. All of those who fall behind in their bills are part of the Great and Abominable Church. We don't want this to get out.

Exactly. Check and mate.

I don't understand the point of this article. The article states that the power rates are lower than in other portions of the country. Then I just did a search for climate for Utah and it appears that most months out of the year the weather is quite reasonable where heat or air conditioning wouldn't even be necessary. I live in an area of the country where 100+ degree weather is the norm in the Summer and winters are freezing. No surprise my utilities will be higher.... Am I missing the point?
Trust me, most parts of populated Utah require both heating and cooling in the different seasons.
that being said, we are also awesome at paying our bills on time to the electric folk.

I believe you. It's always good to hear of a portion of the country that doesn't struggle in regards to paying their utilities. I know where I live that the Winter is rough for quite a few people -- they really struggle. I know my gas bill is over $300 a few months in the Winter -- that is not fun!
I've never been to Utah... I was just reading about the climate and the different areas. I really need to make a point to go.
