The truth is that high school hours are based on what adults want and not what is in the best developmental interest of adolescents.
There is a ton of research pointing to the benefits of later starts and other accommodations to promote teen learning.

people are going to be really satisfied when they have to pay nearly 2.7x as much and then competition is made illegal by law lol

I'm not sure, to be honest. I think it's tough to compare energy rates because there are so many variables, like cost of energy source, etc.
Personally, I'm more interested in customer satisfaction- which we do know here in Maine, we don't have.

from what i see googling this, the price per kilowatt hour is over double maine's rate in both countries. does this turn out to be cheaper through some other fees?

Bulk orders start at 20 gallons. That what you’re looking for?

Hey, that was the day I bought a small trailer. Lower than a pickup bed, you can leave it behind full of stuff until it's full of trash, then take it to the dump. A wrangler and an 8' trailer is still pretty nimble, too.

Jim, why does that same tree keep falling throughout the year? Shouldn't it be dead by now?

How much is gallon? Any better than the grocery store prices? I never stock up but its a good idea.

I'm halfway through that program right now. Most of my classes have been asynchronous. I'm in one right now that's technically synchronous, but attendance isn't part of the grade so I still just watch the lectures after work.
It's a pretty new program so it doesn't seem super well structured/cohesive, but depending on which classes you take, there is some useful material, and a lot of overlap in other departments (spatial informatics, business, computer science).
I will say though, I probably wouldn't keep going if I didn't have my work paying for it. I've taken a couple classes (a couple from the business school come to mind) where I really feel like I learned nothing.

I'll Photoshop some grass in there, then I'll make another copy with some leaves on the grass, and bam 4 seasons of excellent excuses. For any use, call out of work, bail on your in laws, whatever is clever

Maine Maple Weekend is coming up. I would look on their directory and find places close to you. https://mainemapleproducers.com/events/maine-maple-weekend/#!directory/map
I have bought gallons from Maple Rush because they are close to where I live. Their gallon price is discounted from their smaller bottles.

In Denmark and the Netherlands, for example, their electricity is all publicly-owned. It's gone so well that in the Netherlands, there's a law against privatizing it.

My final word is that the writers of this initiative have given nothing to go on, for us to trust. But say “trust us to do this”… We’ll put company management out to bid… they aren’t even saying that it will save customers money.
Who are they, what’s their experience doing this, how much money will they make if this passes? How can one trust in an unknown entity and undefined process, with unknown costs and outcomes? Co-ops can be as badly managed as any corporate entity, and they don’t tell us who or how they will manage a CMP Co-op, or how much it will cost us.
