Without a reliable source of electricity, televisions would be obsolete and homes would brighten only under the glow of their inhabitants' idea light bulbs. Deliberate under more stalwart currents with today's Groupon: for $20, new enrollees get a $70 credit toward a future electricity bill from U.S. Gas & Electric. Groupon customers will be enrolled into a variable-price program for a minimum term of six months. This Groupon is valid in the service areas of Consolidated Edison, Central Hudson, Orange & Rockland, National Grid/Niagara Mohawk, NYSEG, and RGE.

Ranked one of the United States' fastest-growing private companies every year since 2007, U.S. Gas & Electric leverages its expansion to supply electricity and natural gas to customers across the nation, with an emphasis on eco-friendly products and sustainable energy sources. Rates for the variable-price program fluctuate monthly based on market changes and shifts in the positions of the giant mirrors on the moon. New enrollees will receive a $70 rebate check in the mail following service activation, as well as an additional 6% rebate after six months and a 10% rebate after 18 months, calculated on the highest month's supply charges. Though Groupon customers must enroll for a minimum period of six months to avoid a cancellation fee ($20), the program carries no other long-term commitments, an ideal situation for homeowners planning to meet future energy needs by stuffing every lampshade with an electric eel.
