How The Entergy Sector Collects On Individuals Wealth

It says I used 2500 watts more than last month, almost a $500 electric bill. Almost double my bill 2 months ago. Think the city is being fair to me? At that rate I could probably run my big farm generator for 12 hours a day. Wouldn’t be enough, just saying. It’s not cheap. If 15000 people live in the city of Batesville, or right around it, and use an average of $500 a month, per house. That is roughly seven million, five hundred thousand a month, or more. I know some people that get charged way more than me, if they have a mansion, or a warehouse.

How The Entergy Sector Collects On Individuals Wealth

I think the Entergy employees should be laid well; especially if they are heavily trained and experienced. However, these numbers are big. The city water department is pulling in big numbers too. At-least 25-50% of the revenue that Entergy charges for the same individuals, on average. These numbers are approximate, but a good educated approximate numbers of the local utilities monopoly. Their tight grip on Batesville individuals. The control they have over weather or not Batesville and surrounding residences have spending money. Money for eating out, for groceries, upgrading their homes, upgrading their vehicles, for luxury goods, for vacations, for paying off debt, and more. Not even to mention the insurance companies control over the Batesville city, and surrounding residences as well. Let’s also not yet dive into the fixed high prices of gasoline; that chain-store monopoly business also control.

The grip these fortune 500 type companies have on our wealth, our freedom, where our spending goes, is a tight grasp on individuals to say the least.

Furthermore, I(Cody N Smith) want to explain that these numbers are rough; again they are approximates, based on the mostly recent January, 2026 bill, of several local individuals, currenlty, and from the past from the Batesville area. The projections, data, numbers used, are more of a residential in-depth look/total as well. Industrial zones, commercial zones, businesses in general, often times use much electricity, at a larger scale, than say a residential individuals, single person household, or family unit household. We will talk a little more about these other zones.

All of this is not even the total equation of the variable in question, that equals the full scale and data of the gross revenue of the power grid serctor, Entergy Arkansas, in our region/city. I remember I use to run retail stores, that were brick-and-mortar, but also had eCommerce retail departments as well in them in the past. My brother and I knew an another local business owner at the time in our city. This man, business owner in question, did a survey for his new location at that time. He measured the gross estimated traffic, during peak days on the highway, on average. This highway traveled directly threw the City Of Batesville, continuing to the outside of town as well. The vehicle traffic survey, estimated that upwards of around 150,000 people use the City Of Batesville regularly. This could include individuals traveling to the city from abroad. Coming home from work if they drive or travel to outside the city, back to the city, daily or weekly. It could include peole that consider the city thier "go-to" for shopping or entertainment, but may live outside the city limits, and so on. What does all this mean in a nut shell? It means that just because the population of the City Of Batesville is estimated to be around 11,539 in 2025; that the picture, or scale of it, the cost of it, if you will, is way, way, bigger than just the people that live inside the city limits. Some of this reasoning is common sense if you think about it. Everyone knows that guy, or girl, or individual that travels to work in the city, that lives in the country. It is well known that some individuals consider The City Of Batesville their home, their entertainment destination, their place to visit a eatery, their place to go shopping, and so on. However, the scale of individuals that are projected to actually use the city, regularly, is upward of 150,000 plus thousand individuals.

What does all this mean again, in a nut shell? I would be lying if I said my numbers on this specific topic are as accurate as NASA. Why? Because I would have to work internally at Entergy, or be in the governor seat of Arkansas one, to be able to pull the exact numbers exactly. These numbers are confidential to the utility and are not publicly available to me. For this reason we used realistic logic, and approximates, based on current and past bills in the city of a few individuals.

Are findings, will make you upset, sick to your stomach. In the end we know we have to have utilites, a city, a state, a fed. We know our culture is set-up to "pay to play", based on the USD dollar. Does all this mean that we should have to pay hundreds and hundreds a month, to have our houses heated and cooled, our fridges on, our light bulbs on? Obviously the current answer is a hard yes. The public, individuals, have to pay or Entergy cuts the power off pretty quickly. Same with other utiliteis as well. That is another subject all-together.

With Nuclear power, solar power, natural gas, gasoline, fuel-alternative technologies; are we really getting treated as fair as possible? The answer we be heavily opinionated by the reader of my (Cody N Smith) findings in this article I(Cody N Smith) wrote today.

The hard truth is, we could have it way better than we do. If the fortune 500 companies, the city in question, the state in question, the fed, the billionaries of the world, made a stance that their shared interest, shared goal, was to lower the cost of living. Specifically lowering the cost electric utility. It most definetly could be so. I'm not saying that people of a higher class, or people that have a power seat politically, should have to pay for part of the bill of the US household citizen necessarly. I believe you reap what you sow for the most part. I am talking about ending political corruption, and increase competition in every area of the United States; for the shared interest or goal if you will, for the electrical utility customer. I am saying lower the cost for consumers.

The cost of Entergy, is large. Individuals, more specifically the 150,000 plus individuals that use The City Of Batesville, would have more USD dollars to spend on small business, and other services and businesses. If the entergy utility, gas utility, fuel for vehicles, common insurances, law enforcement fines, court fines, were all more affordable. We the people of the USA, would notice a increase in revenue in other sectors. The energy and utility sectors sometimes cost fortunes to set-up, or to buy the supply, to then sell to indiviudals at the utility meader, gas pump, or so on. These same energy and utility companies often pay decent, if not very well, even to entry level employees. These same energy and utility companies sometimes have enourmous cost, this cost is heavily reflected on the final utility meader or gas pump price. However, some of these companies also make a fortune annually on us. Especially the top elite companies in the entergy, and insurance sector. If the right people got together, with new-age technology, or even existing energy technology, energy cost could be significantly less for the average individual.

Furthermore, approximately, upwards of at-least 75 million a month flow into the power grid utility, Entergy, alone. Just from individuals households that use The City Of Batesville regularly. What does mean even further? It means that, not even counting commercial or industrial zone utility energy usage, which is another high number all together; that if individuals had an average of say $25 a week energy utility meter bill; that I predict that just from individuals in residential zones alone, individuals that use the city regularly, upward of 60 million USD dollars would be free-up on a monthly basis. Talk about 720 million a year in the small of amount of individuals that use Batesville, Arkansas regularly.

Granted, I would assume that the other fortune 500 companies, like grocery chains like Walmart, fast-food restaurants like McDonalds, would assume most of this free-up USD. However, househoulds would have more to spend the way the need to, or want to, instead of what they absolutely have to spend their working dollars on. -Cody N Smith
