Dirty Energy Teams Up against the consumer

 Here is yet another attempt to keep people indebted to the dirty energy companies. 

Which St Louisians does this really help?  

StLouis this is sneaky sneaky, the only one who pays is the consumer, writer of the article must have been PAID OFF to word it as they did>

I have never seen an electric and gas company working together in such a blatant matter before.  Please note the items listed to reduce the energy demand: aka Items that require electricy or natural gas.  

Nowhere did the article state: 

If the the energy audit performed by company sponsored energy auditting company determined that when you

1.  insulate the the Basement Walls with a Rigid Foam insulation panel or
2.  Adding to the Insulation Depth of 16 inches in your Attic or
3.  a R40 Insulation Attic level will reduce your demand load.  

There should be a warning label on slight of hand tactics like this. 

Warning We Are Scamming You. Your energy use went down but your utility bill didn't. Thank you for your money!  

Look at the Wording to describe the program:

Pay as You Save

Spire and Ameren Missouri launch a “pay as you save” program to help customers upgrade energy efficiency with little to no upfront costs. https://t.co/DV1FfXq4CV

I bet they split the cost between themselves.  and guess who is still on the hook for the cost of the Electric/Gas upgrades: The consumer doesn't catch a break and pays with the cost of the upgrades tac'd on their utility bills every month. 

Nowhere in the article does it say anything like:

 Because your Demand for energy dropped YOU STILL OWE US
